Tiefling
Devil-blooded humanoid race
A tiefling is a humanoid creature in fantasy role-playing games, particularly Dungeons & Dragons, distinguished by demonic or infernal ancestry.
Tieflings typically have horns, pointed tails, and unusual skin tones—often red or purple.
The heritage marks them as outsiders, frequently mistrusted despite no inherent evil: My tiefling warlock has trust issues for good reason.
