A tiefling is a fictional humanoid race in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game.

They are the descendants of humans who made a pact with devils or other fiends, and inherited some of their infernal traits.

Tieflings have horns, tails, pointed teeth, and eyes of solid colors.

They are often mistrusted and discriminated by other races, and have to rely on their own cunning and charisma to survive.

Tieflings can be found in various settings and worlds, such as the Planescape and the Forgotten Realms.

Here are some facts for you:
  • Tieflings are not evil by nature, but their appearance and heritage make them prone to temptation and corruption.
    Some tieflings embrace their dark legacy, while others strive to overcome it and prove themselves as heroes.

  • Tieflings have a variety of abilities and features depending on their subrace and ancestry.
    Some common traits include resistance to fire, darkvision, and a knack for magic.

  • Tieflings are often drawn to adventure and exploration, seeking to carve their own destiny and escape the stigma of their bloodline.
    They can be found in any profession or role, from rogues and warlocks to paladins and bards.

What does a Tiefling look like?

A tiefling is a creature of mixed blood,
A human and a fiend in a twisted embrace.
Their features are a sign of their tainted lineage,
A mark of their infernal or abyssal race.

Some have horns that curl or spike from their head,
Tails that lash or coil at their feet.
Teeth that are sharp and pointed like a blade,
Eyes that are solid and devoid of deceit.

But not all tieflings are evil or vile,
Some have hearts that are noble and pure.
They may face prejudice and hatred with a smile,
Seek redemption and a life that is secure.

A tiefling is neither a demon nor a devil, but a human who has some fiendish ancestry.
Tieflings are a type of planetouched, which are humanoids who have been altered by the influence of other planes of existence.

Tieflings can trace their origins to various sources of fiendish power, such as demons, devils, evil deities, or other malevolent entities.
However, unlike half-fiends, who are the direct offspring of a fiend and a humanoid, tieflings have a more distant and diluted connection to their infernal heritage.

Tieflings often have physical traits that reflect their fiendish ancestry, such as horns, tails, pointed teeth, or unusual eye colors.
They also have some innate magical abilities, such as darkvision, resistance to fire, and the ability to cast spells like thaumaturgy, hellish rebuke, and darkness.

Tieflings are not inherently evil, but they often face prejudice and mistrust from other races, who see them as tainted or cursed.
Tieflings have a reputation for being cunning and charismatic, but also deceptive and self-reliant.
Some tieflings embrace their fiendish nature and seek to further the goals of their ancestors, while others reject their dark legacy and strive to prove themselves as good and honorable individuals.

Tieflings are a diverse and adaptable race, who can be found in many different cultures and settings.
They are especially common in the Planescape setting, where they originated, and the Forgotten Realms setting, where they are associated with the ancient empire of Bael Turath.
Tieflings are also one of the core races available for player characters in the fourth and fifth editions of Dungeons & Dragons.

Why is it called Tiefling?

The name tiefling comes from the German word tief, which means "deep" or "low", and the suffix -ling, which means "offspring".
The name was coined by Wolfgang Baur for the second edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, where tieflings were introduced as a race of humanoids with fiendish ancestry.
The name implies that tieflings are descended from creatures of the lower planes, such as demons, devils, and evil deities.

Tieflings have different origins in different editions of Dungeons & Dragons.
In the second and third editions, tieflings were the result of a distant fiendish influence in their family tree, not necessarily a direct parentage.
In the fourth and fifth editions, tieflings were the descendants of humans who made a pact with devils for power and were cursed with infernal blood.
Tieflings also have variations based on interbreeding with other races, such as fey'ri, tanarukk, maeluth, wisplings, mur-zhagul, and baphitaur.

Tieflings are known for their cunning, personal allure, and fiendish traits, such as horns, tails, pointed teeth, and darkvision.
They are often discriminated against and mistrusted by other races, due to their evil heritage and appearance.
However, tieflings are not inherently evil and can choose their own alignment and destiny.
Some tieflings embrace their infernal legacy, while others try to overcome it or hide it.
Tieflings are a diverse and adaptable race, with many subraces and cultures.

What colors can a Tiefling be?

A tiefling is a humanoid creature that has some infernal heritage, which can manifest in various physical traits.
One of these traits is the skin color, which can vary from standard human shades to more exotic hues.

The most common skin colors for tieflings are:
  • Humanoid shades: These are the skin tones that tieflings inherit from their human parents, such as white, black, brown, tan, etc.
    Tieflings with humanoid skin colors may blend in more easily with other humans, but they may also face discrimination from those who fear their infernal bloodline.

  • Reds: These are the skin tones that reflect the tiefling's connection to the Nine Hells, the realm of devils.
    Reds can range from pale pink to deep crimson, and may indicate a strong or dominant infernal legacy.
    Tieflings with red skin may be more prone to anger, passion, or ambition, but they may also have a sense of honor or loyalty.

  • Purples: These are the skin tones that are often seen in tiefling art, especially in the Fifth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons.
    Purples can vary from lavender to violet, and may suggest a more exotic or mysterious infernal heritage.
    Tieflings with purple skin may be more charismatic, creative, or adventurous, but they may also have a darker or secretive side.

There are also some less common skin colors for tieflings, such as:
  • Blues: These are the skin tones that are associated with night hags, a type of fiend that can breed with humans and produce tiefling offspring.
    Blues can range from sky blue to navy blue, and may indicate a more cunning or deceptive infernal lineage.
    Tieflings with blue skin may be more intelligent, manipulative, or resourceful, but they may also have a cruel or sadistic streak.

  • Greens: These are the skin tones that are mentioned in some older editions of Dungeons & Dragons, but not in the current one.
    Greens can vary from olive to emerald, and may imply a more natural or primal infernal ancestry.
    Tieflings with green skin may be more attuned to nature, magic, or life, but they may also have a wild or chaotic temperament.

Can Tiefling have normal eyes?

Tieflings are a race of humanoids with fiendish ancestry, which manifests in various physical traits, such as horns, tails, pointed teeth, and unusual eye colors.

Tieflings are often discriminated against and mistrusted by other races, due to their infernal heritage and the stereotypes associated with them.

However, this is not a universal trait, and some tieflings may have eyes that are more similar to those of humans, with different colors, sclera, and pupils.

This may depend on the specific bloodline of the tiefling, the influence of other races in their ancestry, or simply individual variation.

In older editions of D&D, tieflings had a lot more diversity in their appearance, and some of them had more subtle features, such as mismatched eyes, an odd odor, or no shadow.

Therefore, the answer to the question of whether tieflings can have normal eyes is yes, but it is not very common.

Most tieflings have eyes that reflect their fiendish origin, and those who have normal eyes may face even more suspicion and prejudice from others, who may see them as trying to hide their true nature.

Tieflings who have normal eyes may also struggle with their own identity, as they may feel less connected to their heritage or more alienated from their kin.

However, some tieflings may embrace their normal eyes as a sign of their uniqueness and individuality, and use them to their advantage in social situations.
