Homebrew Yuan Ti Species Details
Yuan-Ti
The serpent creatures known as yuan-ti are all that remain of an ancient human empire. Ages ago, their dark gods taught them profane rituals to mix their flesh with that of snakes, producing a caste-based society of hybrids in which the most snake-like are the leaders and the most humanlike are spies and agents in foreign lands. Out of these castes, yuan-ti abominations stand as the second highest and are highly regarded as leaders and warriors among their people.
