Hideous Creatures: Serpent Folk
"The features mingled and merged in a seemingly impossible manner. Then¸ like a fading mask of fog¸ the face suddenly vanished and in its stead gaped and leered a monstrous serpent's head!" They built Valusia before the dinosaurs¸ and lurk behind half mankind's darkest cults. Are they extra-dimensional¸ extra-terrestrial¸ or just extra venomous? You won't fool the Children of Yig¸ in any skin they wear.
The squamous serpent folk resemble upright¸ bipedal snakes¸ with wedgeshaped heads and taloned arms. They can sense motion¸ have a keen sense of smell thanks to their forked tongues¸ and can detect heat like a pit viper. They range in color from green and brown to pale yellow or gray¸ often spotted or streaked with darker markings.
