Homebrew Nephilim Species Details
Nephilim are the rare occurrence of a celestial being mating with a demonic being. They appear with human features but with a slight increase in strength as well as cunning. They are considered rare because of the fact that if known they are hunted down and killed by either other celestial beings or demonic creatures, thus forcing those who birth them to send them into hiding or destroy them outright to make things easier (though that is rare in itself).
