A half-celestial is the direct offspring of a good outsider and a mortal, although they can also be created by powerful holy magic. The children of a half-celestial might be empyreans1 or seemingly normal mortals.234

Half-celestials should not be confused with celestial creatures, which are outsiders native to the upper planes but otherwise similar to their mortal counterparts.4

Ecology

A half-celestial can be born among any type of mortal creatures; half-celestial dragons, griffons, and unicorns are all known to occur. However, only humanoid half-celestials can give birth to empyrean children or have empyrean descendants. Non-humanoid half-celestials are often sterile; those that are not typically give birth to either half-celestial children or normal members of their mortal species.4
