The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
There are a lot of reasons why it wouldn't work or would be one or the other, but by the Rule of Cool I'd want it to be a hybrid.
Tiefmar
Appearance: gray feathered wings, short tiefling-like horns and tail
Ability Score Increase: Charisma +2, Wisdom +1
Age: up to 120
Alignment: often chaotic neutral
Size: medium
Speed: 30'
Flight: 30' (for 10 minutes total, regained on short or long rest)
Darkvision: 60'
Abomination Resistance: resistance to necrotic & fire damage
Abominable Touch: As an action, you can touch a creature and cause it to regain 1 hit point; when you do so it creates a bright harmless flame at the point of contact accompanied by a booming sound and smell of sulfur. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Languages: common, celestial, and infernal
[MENTION=6875235]Elon Tusk[/MENTION] No, no the feathery wings attached to its nose and the horned tail protruding from his navel surely qualify this as a mongrelman.

For the adventure I've been writing for the last thousand years or so, a Tiefling hero and his Elven wife have a daughter who is basically a half-elf with just a few infernal traits (enough to make her VERY valuable some really bad people). But having read Elon's suggestion, I think I'll consider creating an elf/tiefling hybrid, that's much more interesting!
