Couatl

Couatls are intelligent celestial serpents with feathered wings.  

Culture

Couatls live solitary lives, in pairs, or in flights of 3–6 individuals. Their intellect is above that of most humans and often own treasure. They typically speak Common, Draconic, and Celestial.   Couatls are known for their beauty, Magic, and virtue. They worship Umunairu who created them, and share their soul with the goddess of storms.

History

The blood of the goddess of the couatl, Umunairu, was once spilled on Toriel, and from it, merged with a portion of her soul, arose the couatl. However, some of that blood was not linked to the goddess' soul and was later discovered by humans. Those humans drank the blood of the goddess, their bodies shifting to match the serpentine nature of their goddess, but the lack of soul linked to the blood corrupted them, and turned them into people they are today: the Yuan-ti.
