Editing Yuan-ti (section)

==Ooh! Snake Surprise!==
In generic D&D, yuan-ti are usually portrayed as descendants of mad serpent-worshipping witch-cults that fused and interbred with snakes in order to "evolve" into superior beings. They are, thereby, not ''primordial'' serpentfolk like the [[Scarred Lands]]' [[asaatthi]]. This may explain how female yuan-ti got boobies, not encountered on natural reptilians, but - in D&D - pervasive in [[aberration]]s and among [[demon]]s.

According to the book [[Serpent Kingdoms]], the Yuan-ti were originally created as a servant race by an older race of snake people called the [[Sarrukh]], who also created several other [[Scalykind]] races, but the Yuan-ti rebelled and nearly drove them to extinction.  This was only canon to [[Forgotten Realms]]; it has been ignored in later editions.

[[Zehir]] is the yuan-ti racial deity. Unusually this wasn't revealed till late 3.5 and he's not actually in any ''books'' from that era. His debut was as the ultimate antagonist of ''Storm of Zehir'', the second expansion pack of ''Neverwinter Nights 2'', which means there is plenty of Yuan-ti stuff in the campaign.

Before this retcon, yuan-ti worshipped [[Merrshaulk]]. They later switched to [[Sseth]], who was later replaced without the Yuan-ti realizing it by [[Set]], although currently it seems that Set and Zehir were the same god all along.  Some heretical Yuan-ti instead worship the [[Elder Evils#Sertrous|Elder Evil]] [[Sertrous]], whom they believe is their creator.  [[Tomb of Annihilation]] features a cult of Yuan-ti who worship [[Dendar]] the Night Serpent, one of the [[Elder Evils]] of the [[Forgotten Realms]]. In [[Ghostwalk]] they go with [[Orcus]] because Monte didn't give a fuck.
