Dungeons & Dragons 5e Race/Species : Yuan-ti
Yuan-ti
Yuan-ti are devious serpent folk devoid of compassion. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.

serpent gods intended it. They mastermind elaborate schemes and perform dark rites in the hope of one day ruling the world.
