Dantaeons are a humanoid species with a devilish appearance. They have a similar build to humans, and when cloaked can pass as them. However, they have slightly-reddish skin tones, horns on their heads, and a 4-5 foot long tail. This tail can be used as a whip or to pick up small objects. They live about 120 years.

Their origin is clouded in mystery. It is said that in the most ancient of days infernals physically roamed the earth tempting mortals. Some legends claim that dantaeons carry that infernal heritage in their blood. These stories, along with dantaeon appearance, can make interactions with other races difficult. Many fear them, seeing them as monsters. Some dantaeons reject the ancient stories and try to live peacefully among humans. They can be found in large cities with diverse populations. Others embrace their possible heritage and work as thieves and mercenaries for even the worst villains. They sometimes live near dark ruins, protecting the sites from plunder.

In combat, dantaeons often use a trident to enhance their devilish reputation. They will use their tail as a weapon whenever they are engaged in melee combat.
