Tribe 'Seres Pupo

The 'Seres Pupo or Heat Sensers are a Naa'gaean Tribe native to many parts of Eveynjar, from the more temperate regions of Indeljar to the southmost tip of the Kalth. With their resemblance to Vipers and Pit-vipers, 'Seres Pupo are lighting-fast and can bite as a reaction if need be. Named after their ability to sense heat, 'Seres Pupo are able to sense warm-blooded prey even in magical darkness. This means that they cannot detect constructs and undead in this way. 

As a tribe, most 'Seres Pupo are loners and isolationist in nature, making their overall demeanor grating and rough. Despite this, they generally live in close-knit family groups that care deeply about each others wellbeing. Often the adults take turns hunting, going into the wilderness for weeks at a time, stocking up on prey for their families. In some rare instances, the 'Seres Pupo can be found in settlements, but aren't always in the graces of the law.

Like other Naa'gaea, the 'Seres Pupo can be further divided into multiple clans:

• 'Burled Pu'secu'plea (Rotating Fangs) are a clan of 'Seres Pupo that resemble the serpentine genus Azemiops or Fea's Viper. Having golden to white-orange heads and bluish-black bodies, they are striking to look at, and possess a unique type of fang that allows it to rotate instead of being hinged. Instead of releasing after biting a victim, 'Burled Pu'secu'plea instead use their bite to hold fast to their targets, constantly injecting venom into their victim until it looses the will to fight. This clan is found primarily along the jungle-rich border between Kahlukkenjar and Fahliilenjar, and up into the mountains leading to Urrudea.
• Plan Pu'parsos (Rattle Tails) are a subclan of 'Seres Pupo that resemble the serpentine geneses Crotalus and Sistrurus or Rattlesnakes, and are purportedly apart of the greater 'Sita Pu'gerdin Clan. Having the beautiful coloring of rattlesnakes, they even possess the keen smell and distinctive rattle of these serpents. When using their rattle, they have advantage to bluff or intimidate an enemy, and can paralyze with their neurotoxic venom. This clan is found mostly in Hallojar, Yandaijar, and the Kalth. 
• 'Sita Pu'gerdin (Forest Lurkers) are a clan of 'Seres Pupo that resemble the serpentine family Crotalinae or New World Vipers/Pit Vipers. Many 'Sita Pu'gerdin camouflage well with their environment, giving them an outstanding ability to hide in Forests, Jungles, Swamps, and River systems. Most possess a knack for climbing, and can easily scale up trees to avoid larger threats that can't follow. This clan possesses populations in Yandaijar, Hallojar, the Kalth, Kahlukkenjar, Yllithr, Indeljar, and the northwestern portion of Empyria.
• Nan'apte Pu'gerdin (Desert Lurkers) are a clan of 'Seres Pupo that resemble the serpentine family Viperinae or Old World Vipers/True Vipers. Equipped for more arid environs, Nan'apte Pu'gerdin excel at living in fluctuating hot/cold environments, from the plains of Empyria to the Outback of Fahliilenjar, though a majority of this clan is found in Urrudea and its borders. Due to their coloration, they excel at hiding in sand, and can remain motionless for hours.
