Homebrew Vishkanya Race Details

Cousins to the Yuan-Ti, the Vishkanya are humanoids with snake blood in them. Rather than have a mix of different snake forms between them, all Vishkanya are humans with an unusual beauty. Their skin is covered is tiny scales similar to a snake's and they have vibrantly color eyes with narrow slits for pupils. They are often found as assassins for hire, working wherever the coin is.
