WizKids Yuan-Ti Abomination

Product Information

Age. Abominations mature at the same rate as humans and have lifespans similar in length to theirs. Eventually, though, Merrshaulk had sunk into a slumber, ignoring his followers. Around the time of the collapse of the human empire of Netheril, Merrshaulk himself was also reborn as a winged yuan-ti avatar named Sseth, who became the yuan-ti's new primary deity. In the end, though, Sseth too sank into somnolence. [24] The yuan-ti were reprinted in the 1st edition Monster Manual II and appeared in 2nd edition in Volume One of the Monstrous Compendium series. The histachii, later called the broodguard, was introduced in Dragon #151 and reprinted in the Kara-Tur Monstrous Compendium Appendix, and as the broodguard in Monsters of Faerûn.

Yuan-Ti entering the temple use this water to ritualistically clean their body and buff their scales.

Size. Abominations stand about 5 feet tall when upright, but the total length of their bodies, head to tail, ranges from 10 to as much as 20 feet. Your size is Medium. Yuan-ti have had hundreds of generations to live and evolve on their own, so they’ll have the same self-preservation instinct as any evolved species. If they’re seriously injured (reduced to 16 hp or fewer), they’ll run away, using the Dash action (yuan-ti purebloods don’t have the training to Disengage). Abominations enjoy the most power and privilege in Yuan-Ti society. However, even more so than Malisons, their monstrous appearance makes it nearly impossible to maneuver in humanoid society.Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race). Trap: If a non-Yuan-Ti steps across the mosaic on the floor, the four pillars in this room animate into four Giant Constrictor Snakes with the following changes:

Make the Abomination hard to reach. Put them at the end of a serpentine labyrinth behind Broodguards, Purebloods, and Malisons. The serpent creatures known as yuan-ti are all that remains of an ancient, decadent human empire. Ages ago their dark gods taught them profane, cannibalistic rituals to mix their flesh with that of snakes, producing a caste-based society of hybrids in which the most snakelike are the leaders and the most humanlike are spies and agents in foreign lands.Prehensile Tail.You can use your tail to hold small objects, and grapple creatures. While grappling a creature in this way, you cannot grapple a creature bigger than you and have disadvantage to this grapple. Ed Greenwood, Eric L. Boyd, Darrin Drader (July 2004). Serpent Kingdoms.

In addition, there is a sub-faction of the yuan-ti, the Vanguard of Sertrous (outlined in Elder Evils), who follow the teachings of the ancient obyrith Sertrous, sometimes known as the first heretic. The Vanguard wish to assist Sertrous in reconquering his layer of the Abyss. At this point, some sarrukh, long suffering a heavy war on other planes or sunken into hibernation in their ruins, began to return in some numbers. They crucially needed help from their deity, but Sseth was not answering prayers in his slumber. So for aid in their endeavors some of the sarrukh made a bargain with the Mulhorandi deity Set, that put Sseth into a deeper sleep but allowed Set to assume Sseth's mantle and grant the sarrukh their aid. [25] This section is a stub. You can help us by expanding it. Anathemas are by far the most powerful and loathsome of yuan-ti, worshiped as divine incarnations of Merrshaulk. They are truly bizarre in appearance, with a body like a 25-foot-long serpent; a pair of humanoid arms with clawed, three-fingered hands; and six serpentine heads rising from its shoulders. An anathema's power dwarfs even that of an abomination, but since they represent such unfettered chaos, they are usually found away from yuan-ti cities, establishing cults that worship Merrshaulk through them. They make a common practice of grafting yuan-ti body parts onto humans and other races for use as personal servants. Anathemas are extremely rare, however, and only a handful are likely to exist on any world. They first appeared in the Third Edition version of the Fiend Folio. Osssra is an oil that, when burned, confers benefits on yuan-ti but acts as a poison to other races. Its smoke is strangely multi-colored. Osssra is described in detail in Serpent Kingdoms, and various "antidotes" to osssra, known as ophiotoxins, were described in Dragon #355.Yuan-Ti names are meant to sound fearsome, exotic, and are meant to strike fear. Yuan-ti sur names are short and follow after primary names with a hyphen, and are pronounced with the primary name i.e. Jorvik-Sa
