Homebrew Drow tiefling/ Drowling Species Details

Below the surface world, regular society lays the many depths of the Underdark. In this shadow world lives many dark and mysterious races and monsters. Many have built their own civilization in this dark place.
One of these many civilizations is the drow society, where the women rule and the men are only good for breeding, being good soldiers, or a worker/slave.
Now sometimes drow like to cross-breed or create other animals/races, for their goddess, Lolth, or for their own power. Via breeding experiments, transformation rituals, or natural means. Sometimes maybe by arrangements or maybe deals, as some may call them, are made with very powerful demons.


It is here where our misunderstood and most of the time hated race comes in. A drow tiefling or drowling, as some call them, is a mix or cross between a drow and a tiefling. Most of the time drowling has a drow father and tiefling or human mother. Very rarely a drow mother and a tiefling/ human father but things happen.
