Homebrew Yuan-ti Freak Species Details

When a counsel of Yuan-ti Purebloods experiments in creating new forms for their subjects, dark rituals take place. These rituals can last anywhere from one week to several years, and they do these to control the outcome of their offspring's subspecies. Typically, the longer one of these rituals takes, the more powerful the hatchling will become. However, some Yuan-ti lose themselves in this process. Reports of encountering visages of Dendar herself have been recalled. When this happens, the ritual casters remain in a dormant state for several years. If they wake up before Dendar pleases, then the egg will die. However, on the slim chance that none of the casters wake up, the fuel of their greatest nightmares and even their life force all transfer into a single egg. This egg will become something known as a Yuan-ti Freak. 

Sporting anywhere from 4 to 10 arms, these creatures have the body of a snake and the torso of some humanoid. Their generally cobra-inspired faces strike awe and fear in anyone that gazes upon them. These Yuan-ti freaks are typically trained to be sentinels, prophets, or even vessels for Dendar herself to inhabit in the material plane.
