About

Vicious Snake Men. The Ophidians appear as 6-foot tall humanoids with the heads of pit vipers. Their tongues dart in and out, and they move so smoothly they appear to glide. They are hostile to almost every creature that is not another Ophidian.

Violent Predators. Ophidians live for the hunt and the kill. Their entire society is built around seeking out and consuming victims. They want nothing else out of life, and they will employ any tactic for the chance to kill a target.

Seductive liars. While ophidians generally don’t care for negotiations, they can be incredibly seductive when they want to. They will lie, cheat, and make any promises they feel appropriate before striking their prey when least expected.
