Homebrew Yuan-ti Hydrokinetic Species Details
Yuan-ti Hydrokinetics are a race of water elementals that were once very powerful. They were created by the Great Elemental Leviathan as water elementals in the elemental plane of water. Most stayed in the elemental plane, but some left in search of things on other planes. Some Yuan-ti can transform into a Hydrokinetic if enough of their power is put into water. Hydrokinetics are made completely in water. They have mastered movement through water and manipulation of water. A large amount of Hydrokinetics learned how to manipulate the cold and became Cyrokinetics. In current times however, Hydrokinetics are rarely seen. Many Hydrokinetics still remain in the elemental plane of water, but few are on the surface plane. Most are confused for Water Weirds or other water elementals. If a party of adventurers are lucky enough to find a Hydrokinetic, they may try to get it to join them.
