Couati

COUATI

The Couati are a race of feathered serpentine humanoids, not unlike the Yuan-ti purebloods. They range in appearance from nearly indistinguishable from a human to nearly Couatl like in appearance. They are born from a union of Couatl and humanoid races, appearing as a mixture of the two. Their divine feathers begin small, appearing only in select easily hidden locations, but as one grows they become larger until the feathers may cover the Couati's entire form. Their natural enemies are the Yuan-ti, as they are nearly diametrically opposed to them in purpose and form. They form groups of Couati and other good natured creatures in order to empower good, and seek to rid the world of evil.

HEAVENLY PURPOSE

Couati are divine in nature, and they share some of the memories of their Couatl parent. They naturally align with their parents and very rarely stray to their own path. If a Couati were to become evil, they would slowly loose their feathers and transform into a yuan-ti pureblood, forever scorned by their kin. A DM is free to rule this differently.
