Yuan-ti
Yuan-ti are a collective race of serpentfolk, also known as the snake people of Malatra, who are seen as corrupt and degenerate monsters by other races.
The appearance of yuan-ti varied greatly from nearly human-like to nearly snake-like, but all had some serpentine features.
Purebloods appeared mostly human, with minor reptilian features, such as slit eyes, a forked tongue, or patches of scales on their skin.
Also called malisons, halfbloods were humanoid in shape but had a wide variety of noticeable serpentine features, such as a snakelike tail in place of legs, a complete covering of scales, a hood like a cobra, a snake's head, or snakes in place of arms.
Abominations were almost completely snakelike, with only a few human features, such as arms or a humanoid head.
Yuan-ti call themselves vrael olo (which means "favored ones"). Daily use typically uses the shortened "vrael", and can be modified to "auvrael" (meaning friendly or known yuan-ti) and "duthrael" (unfriendly or unfamiliar yuan-ti).
In general, the more serpentine features a yuan-ti possesses the higher its status in yuan-ti society. Abominations are at the top of their society, followed by halfblood, and finally purebloods. Within their subraces, yuan-ti are ranked by achievements and the demonstrated favor of Sseth.
Commonly Known Languages: Yuan-ti, Common, Draconic, Abyssal.
