These half-serpent-half-human creatures were just part of a cult, but they became so much more.
There are multiple types of Yuan-Ti. To put it plainly, these creatures are a mix of a serpent and a human. Some of the Yuan-Ti look more like snakes than others do, and some look more like humans, being nearly indistinguishable.
There are three main types of Yuan-Ti: the
Abominations, the
Malisons, and the
Pure Bloods. The Abominations pretty much look like giant snakes with arms. These are the strongest of all of the Yuan-Ti, and some might think that they are the most gifted and devoted to the serpent gods. The next type is the Malisons, who has the head of the snake, arms that are snakes, or a serpent bottom instead of legs. These Yuan-Ti are typically more dexterous ones. Lastly, the Purebloods are the most cunning and human-like of the Yuan-Ti, often looking exactly like humans except for slits for eyes and occasional scales.
A long time ago, there was a tribe that went by the name of Yuan-Ti, they were a human tribe that worshipped serpent gods. As time went on and the tribe became more devoted to their faith, they turned to cannibalism and humanoid sacrifice. The gods looked upon the Yuan-Ti with pleasure.
Eventually, the Yuan-Ti wished to be so much like the serpent gods that they mated with snakes through terrible sorcery. And thus was born the race of Yuan-Ti as we know them today. They look upon their transformation as a gift from the gods and feel as if they are more like them now that they have transformed. The Yuan-Ti typically only worship the gods they do so that they might gain power through, and are willing to do whatever it takes to become even more powerful.
