The look

Karlach's standard appearance combines her tiefling features with heavily worn infernal armor. The design is built around dark leather and metal armor, exposed mechanical components, red/orange skin, horns and her distinctive glowing Infernal Engine.

Base costume

  1. 01Infernal Armor — Layered dark armor forms Karlach's main silhouette.
  2. 02Shoulder Armor — Large asymmetrical shoulder pieces emphasize her warrior design.
  3. 03Arm Guards — Leather and metal forearm pieces continue the armored appearance.
  4. 04Utility Belts — Multiple belts and straps create the rugged adventurer silhouette.
  5. 05Trousers / Leg Armor — Dark fitted trousers and protective pieces complete the lower half.

Character details

HORNS — Karlach's swept-back tiefling horns are essential. INFERNAL ENGINE — The glowing mechanical core in her chest is one of her strongest identifiers. SKIN — Her red-orange tiefling complexion should remain visible rather than being completely covered by costume pieces.

Hair / face / makeup

  • Use a dark red/orange wig with Karlach's short, swept-back hairstyle.
  • Red-orange body makeup can reproduce her tiefling skin tone, with darker shading around the horns and facial structure.

Props

  • Greataxe prop + thick boots
