Yuan-ti (5e)
5th edition Pointer +
Yuan-ti Overview
Exerpt from the Monster Manual (5e):
"Yuan-ti are devious serpent folk devoid of compassion... [They] were once humans who ... worshiped serpents... [They were] reaching ever higher in prayer to the [serpent] gods they longed to emulate...the serpent gods heard those prayers...[and yuan-ti began] indulging in cannibalism and humanoid sacrifice... Through...sorcery, the yuan-ti bred with snakes...sacrificing their humanity to become like the serpent gods in form...thought and emotion.
The yuan-ti empires withered or were defeated by those who fought against their cannibalism and slavery...
...yuan-ti don't love the gods they worship...They see worship as a means to attain power...[believing that with] enough power can devour and replace one of the yuan-ti gods. The yuan-ti ...are willing to commit the darkest atrocities to achieve it."
