Planetouched: Yugoloth-Spawn Tiefling

In addition to writing this, we also got various (and often conflicting) comments from some "experts" in the field of Planar Biology.

Tieflings of Yugoloth descent are actually more common than what others would assume. While most of these Tieflings don't want anything to do with their Yugoloth ancestors, it's rumoured the Yugoloths are most certainly interested in them. Perhaps that is the reason some assume, that these Tieflings tend to have better luck compared to other Tieflings.

Unnamed: "It's said that the Yugoloths often mix with mortals (especially humanoids) for the purpose of expanding their ranks. The only way as it's said for the Yugoloths to grow in number is to breed among themselves, however their dreaded offspring tend to lack the crucial experience required for the fiends (undesirable traits as far as Yugoloths are concerned). Somehow it's said (if that can be believed) that they can use these Tieflings and Half-Fiends to help towards those purposes by pushing them in subtle ways, until they become full-fledged Yugoloths themselves."

"Unlike the Tanar'ri the Yugoloths tend to spread their blood among mortals through more subtle means. Many Yugoloth Half-Fiends born from mortal mothers live unnoticed among their other kin. While those born from Yugoloth mothers are raised in secrecy till the day they find themselves blending among others. In turn the Half-Fiends go on to breed Tiefling children among the mortals. Perhaps the Yugoloths are doing this to secretly create a network of spies from their descendants, who don't even know they're being used in such ways."

Akin: "I resent your accusations whoever you are?! Do you really think we would abuse are children in such ways? I can't believe you're using such claims, if I had such children I would care for them greatly. What you're saying is intolerable!"

More than any other Tieflings these ones are known to be sly and manipulative. They tend to possess a natural charm about them, even prejudice can't deny that fact. It could make them either more mistrusted or better trusted because of these qualities. They also tend to be brighter then others often backing up their charm with genuine intelligence. Unfortunately for them they tend to be physically weak, usually forcing them to rely on their other qualities. These Tieflings are generally more sociable and more self-confident then their other brethren. They tend to become either leaders or advisors among groups of Tieflings.

Xanxost: "Hello mortals! Xanxost has this to say, Xanxost once met someone who claimed to be the great-granddaughter of the General of Gehenna's servant's ex-wife's brother-in-law. She claimed that she founded a small sect of mercenaries devoted to taking over the Multiverse. It seemed she never had anything valid to say. As to what that has to do with this, Xanxost doesn't know."

Tieflings from Yugoloth subraces in most cases look much like other Tieflings in that many look vaguely human or half-elvish, but can be identified tend to possess these qualities:-The descendents of Mezzoloths aren't typically as crafty as other Yugoloth descendants, they are however usually more physically capable. They tend to be green or ivory in colouration and might possess features such as horns, claws or chitinous skin. Their usually quite wiry in their physical build.-Descendants of Dergholoths also have some insect-like features, their eyes might be multi-faceted or they possess antennae. Long spindly limbs are another feature, and in the most extreme circumstances they may have useless stubs or faint traces of three arms and a leg if one looks on looks closely enough.-Chitinous skin or a long flexible tongue might be features that descendants of Piscoloths might have. Some are said to have a sharp edge on the index fingers reminiscent of the pincers a Piscoloth has.-The Hydroloth's kin take some minor features from them such as webbed hands and feet, or skin flaps under the arms. Their skin colouration is also more towards a greenish yellow tone. Many of these Tieflings are aquatic in nature.-Yagnoloth descendants might have scaly red skin, bat-wing like ears or uneven arms. Some might have strong physical builds overall, but many just tend to slim and frail.-The Marraenoloth's kin tend to be unhealthily thin, despite the fact that they're normally healthy. Their skin tends to be more towards dark green. Some them also possess glowing red eyes.-Those born from Nycaloths tend to inherit features such as wings, horns or tails. Out of all Yugoloth Tieflings they have the most gargoyle like appearance.-The surprisingly common inheritors of Arcanaloth blood look like many other Tieflings, they might have tails or claws as typical features. It these Tieflings that give most of the Yugoloth-spawn their typical reputations.-Ultraloth's can reproduce by themselves, but they still occasionally breed with mortals. Their progeny tends to be the rarer and more powerful types. The Tieflings might have no features on their faces, or have a plain unassuming appearance, or have glowing eyes with an inimitable stare.-Baernoloth's are rare in the first place, they aren't even seen by most Yugoloths. Thus it comes as no surprise that their are no known Half-Baernoloths or Tiefling descendants of this ancient race.-Gacholoth kin take on feline like features, claws, tails and a couple of sharp teeth are typical features one might.
