Yuan-Ti Halfblood
A halfblood's upper body is that of a beautiful, statuesque human. Slender and well formed, halfblood's are uniformly alluring despite a dangerous, exotic edge flavoring that beauty. From the waist down, however, halfblood's bear great serpent tails. When drawn up to their full length they are about 15 feet long. The musculature of their tails makes them heavy despite their lean, muscular torsos and arms.
Skin and hair tones run the wide range seen among humans. Halfblood's eyes are large and liquid, presenting a full range of colors. Their snake tails are covered in glossy scales that whisper when they move. Beautiful hypnotic patterns of curves or diamond shapes are just as likely as tails of a uniform color. Common colors include bright green, dull red, glossy black, pale gold, and dusty tan. Tattoos are common, and many halfblood's ink mystic symbols into the flesh of their arms and chests.
