Homebrew Yuan-ti Infiltrator Species Details

Yuan-ti are former humanoids that through dark rituals gained serpentine traits and features. Most are either willing participants or the descendants of the original yuan-ti, but there are some that are transformed unwillingly by dark serpentine magics or other yuan-ti. Most yuan-ti have lost their ability to care for others making them cruel and unfeeling but there are exceptions, especially among the unwilling.

Yuan-ti Infiltrators are purebloods known for hiding within other nations peoples. Most are trying to get information, manipulate populations or weaken their defences while some are trying to escape the influence of the Yuan-ti and either make a life for themselves or, in some cases, return to the life they had before being transformed.
