Constrictor Snake Folk

Enemy of the Yuan-Ti. For the Snakefolk there is no lowliest most wretched creature than the Yuan-Ti they view them as inferior barebones duplicates that spread the stereotype of snakes being evil creatures, for the snakefolk know that no snake is born evil but the few evil snakes have been corrupted by profane magics and twisted Gods. Like Kobolds to Gnomes the snakefolk have a mortal vendetta against all Yuan-Ti and if they detect hints of Yuan-Ti populace they will bend all their efforts into hunting and exterminating them.
Wisdom and Rebirth. Snakefolk are beings of great knowledge and wisdom that has been passed down for generations and believe that change and adversity are natural steps in life and embrace them with open arms, they believe in reincarnation by how their bodies shed their skin every year their souls shed their body after every life and as such are reluctant of necromancy and resurrecting magic though there have been cases of Snakefolk practicing such magics.
Slithery Gods. The Snakefolk have various Gods that they might worship each individual making their own choice of worship some of which are Quetzalcoatl Feathered Serpent God of Wind and Wisdom, Caduceus twin Gods of Balance Commerce and Medicine, Jörmungandr Serpent God of Eternity Rebirth and War.

Bite. Your fanged maw is a natural weapon in which you are proficient in if you hit you deal 1d6 + your Strength modifier piercing damage instead of the regular bludgeoning damage.

Strong and Nimble. Agile and Powerful Constrictors know how to work their way around the opponent and restrain them. You are proficient in the Athletics and Acrobatics Skills.

Prehensile Tails. Your tail muscles are as honed as the rest of your body and have evolved to hold down and immobilize prey. When you take the attack action and make an Unarmed Strike as part of that action you may use your Bonus Action to attempt to Grapple the target if it's a medium or smaller creature. While grappling a creature in this way your hands are free and you can use your bonus action on subsequent turns to deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier to the grappled creature.

Constrictors are the most physically capable of the Snakefolk having large bulking tails and torsos, they compose the bulk of the snakefolk's guards and defenders often preferring to immobilize a criminal to then imprison them that use metal weapons.
