Homebrew Aberrant Mind Demon Species Details

“I am The Demon Queen, I am your creator. I created you from the bloodshed and despair of the world before. You shall follow your destiny and create havoc on the material planes before coming to me to tell of the worlds you destroyed and the empire you have created. My child, you are titled as pure myth, you can and will grow into your name, Destroyer of worlds, my lovely demon, you will live forever...Unless you get killed by a warrior true of heart.”

Aberrant Bloodline

Aberrant mind demons are derived from demonic bloodlines, But in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their demonic heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Aberrant mind demons have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes: some have curling horns like a ram, others have straight and tall horns like a gazelle’s, and some spiral upward like an antelopes’ horns. They have thick tails, four to five feet long, which lash or coil around their legs when they get upset or nervous. They have large dragon-like wings, about 5 to 7 feet long depending if they are female or male and how tall they are. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes are solid metallic colors—gold, bronze, copper, silver, brass, or galaxy-like—with no visible sclera or pupil. Their eyes usually shine with am otherworldly glimmer and are often multicoloured. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of red, blue and purple. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, usually glows, as if it is on fire. The colours vary from different colours of the rainbow and is always multicoloured and bright.

Otherworldly and Deadly 

Aberrant Mind Demons are very rare, which gives helps with the element of surprise. There can only be very few of them in a plane of existence at one time, because if there is too many then they tilt the whole galactic balance of the fragile world. These Demons originate from a separate plane of existence known only as the Otherworld, so they can only access the material planes through rips in the world's fabric, or through portals created. 

The Aberrant Mind Demons are known only as tales that are told around campfires on a dark night, or rumors that are spread in taverns after a long adventure. Little do mortals know, that these demons are walking among them and are in the least expected places. The Aberrant Mind demon is almost always chaotic or lawful evil because of their creator who was the Queen of Demons.
