Homebrew Cold demon Species Details
Frost Demon
The frost demon focuses on using energy attacks and telekinesis to control the battlefield while destroying foes, and as they level up, gain the ability to tap into more and more of the power they were born with that was sealed away to keep them from destroying themself. Renowned for their power, dominance, and superiority, the frost demon is a rare but powerful composite class, capable of both control and damage.
Physical Description
A frost demon in first, second, and third form.
Most frost demons have red pupils and bodies covered in keratinous, typically white, exoskeletons. They also have reptilian features such as a long tails, prehensile three-toed feet, body spikes, and horns. They are adorned with colored gem plates on the head, torso, ankles, wrists, and shoulders. Frost demons can have hair, though this is uncommon.
Frost demons are born with so much energy and power that they must go through four stages, or “forms” as they call them, as they mature. Their first form is small, often with a large head, long tail, and stout body. Their second form is much larger, bulkier, and more imposing, with larger and more pointed horns, like a bull. Then their third form, also called their Assault Form, is about the same size as their second form, but with a great amount of physical mutation, looking strange and bizarre to all other creatures. Their fourth and final form is their strongest, but is smaller than their other forms. They are sleek, lithe, and slender, with an appearance that is simple, yet frightening to those who know what it means. If a frost demon activates all of their power in this form, it bulks up significantly, becoming much more muscular.
History
Frost demons are a rare, powerful race of aliens from far-away stars. Frost demons can easily find themselves in positions of power due to how easy it is for them to display dominance over other lifeforms. Because of this, the frost demons are a feared race, and one of great authority in their home systems. Many galactic tyrants have been frost demons, so those who do not fear them often treat them with disrespect and discrimination.
Society
Frost Demons are ruled by a king or queen, who can hold sway over entire galaxies if they play their cards right and display enough strength. They are proud, frightening, and majestic, though they are not often noble. Frost Demons are powerful enough that they rarely train, instead relying on the power they have had since birth. Frost Demons are small enough in population that encountering them in large groups is almost impossible; instead, they are often raised by only their direct family, moving on to find a mate and likely a planet or several to rule once they grow older.
Frost Demon Names
Frost demon names always have something to do with ice, the cold, or refrigeration. Frost Demon names are unigender because of this.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Prehensile Tail. You have a long tail, longer than either of your arms and long enough to grab something from behind you and hold it above and in front of you. Small objects may be carried and manipulated as though the tail had half your Strength score with fine manipulations, such as lockpicking or untying knots, possible at disadvantage to the roll in question. Having a prehensile tail gives proficiency in the Acrobatics skill. Your tail can also be used to make unarmed attack, but it may not carry weapons.
Built for Space. Frost demons don't require oxygen and are adapted to high altitude, extreme heat, and extreme cold as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Masters Guide. Thusly, they can survive in the vacuum of space without any duress.
