Homebrew Yuan-Ti Abomination Species Details
With their almost completely serpentine form and vaguely humanoid arms able to use weapons and tools, abominations were the form of yuan-ti that most closely resembled the originally intended appearance of the yuan-ti race as envisioned by the serpent gods. Abominations are deeply chaotic and see each other as threats, but work together for the sake of survival. To limit clashes of personality, roughly half of a yuan-ti settlement’s abominations tend to rest for months at a time in a state of torpor, conserving their energy. In spite of this, a single abomination–typically a high-level cleric or psychic–often dominates the tribe and turns into a cult of personality.
