Homebrew Yuan-ti Species Details
Yuan-ti were originally humans who transformed themselfs into serpent folk through ancient rituals. Most yuan-ti were corrupted into monsters by those rites, but some yuan-ti instead became a new people who mix characteristics of humans and snakes. Blessed with resistance to magical and poison effects by the rituals that created them, each of these yuan-ti manifests their serpentine heritage in a variety of ways: a forked tongue, snake eyes, a snakelike nose, and some other ophidian characteristics. However a yuan-ti looks, they have the power to pursue great good or evil in the multiverse.
