Merrshaulk is one of the main deities of the Yuan-ti species in the core D&D setting, but in the Forgotten Realms setting, Merrshaulk is just one in a line of snake deities since they tend to fall asleep and get replaced.
History
In the beginning, there was just one deific overbeing: the World Serpent, (called "Mok'Slyk" in the Greyhawk setting) which for D&D is practically the Ouroboros, a creature of incalculable and eternal power on a scale similar to the Lady of Pain or Ao and was worshipped by the progenitor races.
Over time, those ancient empires fragmented into smaller kingdoms who brought unique aspects of worship with them, breaking the World Serpent into smaller deities, forgetting the original World Serpent and depriving it of power to the point that it no longer grants spells or answers prayers.
Merrshaulk was the aspect of the World Serpent who took the portfolio of actual snakes, and is worshipped by the Yuan-ti.
