Homebrew Empowered Snake Species Details

Perhaps you found an arcane object while out hunting. Or maybe your master had an accident with a spell they were casting and you were caught in the crossfire. All you know now is that the world suddenly has much more meaning than just eat, survive and reproduce. Slither with care as the world around suddenly seems so much more interesting but also much more dangerous, as while some of the 2 legs can turn into snakes (a cheap imitation), not often as there an actual snake 🐍 that can talk back to them.
