Shadow Demon Tiefling (5e Race Variant)
From D&D Wiki
Shadow Demon Tiefling
Everyone knows the story of how some elves made a pact with a shadow demon, infusing its essence and cursing their entire generation forever. But what many do not know is that after the fall of the empire, some survivors of the newly created race still sought for power. Among these, a man whose name is long forgotten, traveled to the plane of shadow, and there his descendants were touched by darkness. Their heritage went beyond the infernal pact. It transformed their skin in shades of gray or even shadow. Even the fire that runs through their veins was touched by the darkness.
