Homebrew Yuan-ti Abomination Species Details
With their almost completely serpentine form and vaguely humanoid arms able to use weapons and tools, abominations were the form of yuan-ti that most closely resembled the originally intended appearance of the yuan-ti race as envisioned by the serpent gods. Most stand—for lack of a better term—between 9’ and 11’ in height. They rarely wear clothing below the waist, as it's challenging to tailor outfits to their massive, snake-like bodies. Above the waist, however, they tend to wear extravagant clothing or armor befitting their station. Scale colors run the full gambit, and their serpentine eyes are usually some shade of yellow, green, or red.
Yuan-ti abominations tend to be highly-educated, relying more on their keen intellect rather than their intimidating physiques. Some do, however, take up a more martial view of leadership and train extensively in the art of war.
