Homebrew Yuan-Ti Gorgonite Species Details

The serpent creatures known as yuan-ti are all that remains of an ancient, decadent human empire. Children of Hythonia the Cruel originating from the island of Skathos, these creatures are often believed to be nothing more then less ugly Gorgons or Medusas, but some although in very rare occasions have been able to somewhat integrate into the polis of Theros. For some unknown reason only the females seem to have these mutations that make them appear like their monstrous mother.
