Yuan-Ti
Yuan-ti were originally humans who transformed themselves 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 poisonous 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, or some other ophidian characteristic.
​
The worst of the yuan-ti are people-eating, demon worshipers, Sseth being the most revered. They honor him through bloody sacrifices, their victims often the many civilized folk of the world.

Hated Race Expectations
Skilled in magic and deception, the Yuan-ti are a masterclass of assassins. They abhor the smell of humans and often force those subservient to them to cover up with perfume, they are a race that pride reptilian features over all. They follow demons and practice blood rituals and sacrifices in their honor, and they often manipulated the weak-willed to participate at their own peril. They crave and eat the flesh of any warm-blooded creature, including humans. Cruel and dismissive, the Yuan-ti are truly intelligent yet destructive in their scourge across Faerun.
