Beastkin are humanoids with subtle animal traits — furred ears, tails, slit pupils, or clawed fingertips — inherited from ancient, non-magical bonds with land-bound creatures like cats, dogs, foxes, and deer. Though mostly human in form, their instincts run deeper: sharper reflexes, heightened senses, and a quiet awareness of the world around them.

Beastkin rarely form unified cultures, instead adapting to the regions and societies they grow within. 

Among other peoples, they are seen as uncanny, alluring, or touched by something old. Whether guarding kin, prowling rooftops, or listening with twitching ears, Beastkin walk between worlds — never fully one or the other, and all the more resilient for it.

To be greeted with stares and whispers, to suffer violence and insult on the street, to see mistrust and fear in every eye: this is the lot of the tiefling.

This connection to the Other Planes is the tiefling’s fiendish legacy, which comes with the promise of power yet has no effect on the tiefling’s moral outlook.​  A tiefling chooses whether to embrace or lament their fiendish legacy.
