Homebrew Half-Blood Yuan-Ti Species Details

Yuan-Ti do not seek love or affection, as they are a cold, logical people who pride themselves on their snake-like heritage. However, some are born with more curiosity than others, and will seek a mate that simply intrigues them. These resulting unions form what the Yuan-Ti would considered an abomination and disgrace to their lineage. Upon discovery, these half-bloods would be immediately eradicated, so they are often hidden or sent away. This life of solitude and hiding results in an individual desperate for acceptance and understanding. Those born with less prominent snake features are more accepted by common society, but are considered enemies to most Yuan-Ti.
