Tieflings are either born in the Lower Planes or have one or more fiendish ancestors who originated there. A tiefling is linked by blood to a devil, a demon, a yugoloth, or some other fiend. Tieflings have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes - some have curling horns like a ram, others have straight and tall horns like a gazelle's, and some spiral upward like an antelopes' horns. They have thick tails, four to five feet long, which lash or coil around their legs when they get upset or nervous. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes are solid colors black, red, white, silver, or gold with no visible sclera or pupil. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of red, blue, or purple. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually dark, from black or brown to dark red, blue, or purple.
