Orcus Tiefling (5e Subrace)
Tiefling Subrace[edit]
The demon lord of undead, Orcus, desires to bring darkness and desolation to the world, and bring extermination to all life, leaving only undead under his control. Orcus was found most often as patron to necromancers and undead beings. Tieflings tied to Orcus carry some of his deathly senses and power, and often appear as if they themselves are rotting.
