Volos guide talks about the player versions having subtle snake traits like forked tongues & shifty eyes but it would be cool if every few long rest you’d shed. Imagine your party waking up to find a hollow husk where they saw you last and briefly freaking out. That would be as cool as getting a Hobgoblin video!

To anyone more interested on them, read "Serpent kingdoms", one of the 3.5 books on the forgotten realms series. Has a LOT of info about them.

I once played a short campaign as an evil Yuan-Ti pureblood (using the stats from Volo), she was just humanoid looking enough to pass as normal human, it was one of my favourite rp experiences and if I ever pick that character up again this will be very useful.

Don't be sorry for seperating them. We all know (at least most of us) how the YT algorithm work, and its simply better to have many mid-length videos than having 1 massive video. Its also nice that you can sit through about 20-30 min video in one sitting and then be excited for the next one. At least that's my opinion. In any case, you're doing great Rhexx! This is some really good stuff!

Rhexx: You can’t attain enough power to consume gods. Me: Oh, yeah? Tell that to Sarkics.

Excellent! One of my favorite underrated monsters in D&D. I am such a sucker for half man half animal monsters. Whenever these guys show up in a pre-written Adventure I just fangirl all over the place. I'm just a huge fan of the whole Lost Empire Aztec aesthetic.

I have a pureblood in my realms game. He's playing a celestial Warlock so I made his patron a Couatl. Most of previous party members haven't figured it out since I had him say any scales they find are a sign of his pact. I'm slowly working in the Sarrukh since some of the couatl in the realms were Sarrukh who stopped their evil ways and accepted to be changed.

Have you ever had a party member steal the Yuan-Ti egg and raise the child as their own? I'm very curious to see how much of their evil behavior is nurture rather than nature.

Man, I was waiting for someone to go into detail with the Yuan-Ti. Thx dude!

I now want to play as a Yuan-Ti guard who ran away from their society after eating one of the eggs and is now blending horribly with a town, but no one gives them any mind because they keep to themselves and, hey, there haven't been as many pest killing livestock since they've been here.

Im surprised the Anathemas were not mention. Arent they the usual leaders of their society? In any case, thanks you for doing this videos! they are super informative and im really excited for yuan-ti history and secrets!

The best way I can think how they breed with snakes is if somebody or a group of people polymorphed into a snakes and started banging regular snakes as snakes 🐍 imagine running into a jungle campaign stumbling upon a giant breeding pit only to see people jumping naked into a pile of snakes...yeah one giant Fireball coming right up

God damn I love yuan-ti. My favorite npc I’ve ever made was a pure blood, pact of the tome, great old one warlock. His name was Sseth (cliche I know, but in my world most male yuan-ti are named Seth with more sss at the beginning) and his goal was to scout and leave coded landmarks for the Yuan-ti invasion of the surface world. The interesting part is that the yuan-ti invasion is planned to happen +1000 years from now. So Sseth plays the part of a neutral good adventurer, because that’s the easiest way to accomplish his goals. Of course, he’s actually a lawful evil slave of his yuan-ti masters. He will occasionally dig holes in the earth, and place random objects within. He will explain to his party that he is making an offering to the god, when in reality he is leaving cryptic messages to his future yuan-ti invaders. He’s basically leaving yuan-ti thieves’ cant

I created a Yuanti pureblood detective who was a hostage exchange in an armistice so was raised by elves and is married to an elf and chose to be an undying warlock to the Undying Court to prove her people were redeemable and because she wanted to stay with her wife and their kids.

FINALLY!!! My snake boi people get their video!!! Woo!

I'm actually running a campaign where one of my players is a yuan ti, and you just gave me so many ideas of what to do with his charachter, thank you so much

Can't get mad at multi part videos. They are the most informative and give so much to the imagination. Thank you and can't wait for the next parts.

This was great. Tonight I have an encounter planed for my players with some Yuan-Ti and you just helped me a lot!!! Thank you!

these videos are such a nice thing to have on in the background while im prepping for my next session or planning out a oneshot, thanks for all the hard work MrRhexx!

We started the Tomb of Annihilation as an Aasimar, Lizardfolk, and Yuan-ti. We ended it as a party of 3 Yuan-tis. Guess who's fault that was.

really liking the expanded series and your approach to each monster/creature. keep up the fantastic work!

So glad I found your content man, I don't get to play nearly as much dungeons and dragons as I would like, but I've been playing The forgotten Kings mod for crusader Kings 2 that set in the forgotten realms so it'll be cool to learn more of the lore for the factions

A man true to his word! Love you! Excited to watch!

I must say, i love your videos, like i really love them, you basically introduced me to D&D as game and I love you for that haha. Keep it up the amazing work

Finally, I have been waiting for this video!!! Thanks!

Rexx your videos are the best. I usily don't re watch videos but I've seen all of yours at least 3 times. It's given me so much material to use as a new dm. Thank you for all the work you do

3:40 "...From the get go you can tell that this is an important type of monsters because they get a full lore page. Not every monster get this..." Me: When are we going to get a lore video for the animated armor, flying sword or the rug of smothering?

Always makes my day when I see a new video from you!

I have waited so long for this day. The first game I played to completion was with a yuan-ti whispers bard.

So I just got the idea to make a team consisting of a yuan-ti, a kobold, a tortle, and a lizardfolk, and calling it 'The Scale Squad'.

Your videos are the best! As a DM, having that extra bit of knowledge makes planning so much easier.

Thanks for this video. Just started a new campaign with my room mates and I am using yuan ti as antagonists. Really made things easier for me

FOUR TIMES A WEEK!! im super jealous! thanks for finding the time to post these videos!

Very cool your doing Yuan - Ti! My current campaign has them as a primary race, so extra lore to flesh them out is exactly what I need.

Entertaining video, as usual. I was surprised when I saw the thumbnail. I saw the same piece of art used for a homebrew Pathfinder race, just the other day. Based more on constrictors than venomous snakes.

Im DMing a campaign where Yuan-Ti are VERY important specially in a particular section of the map and their influence is starting to grow, This video came just in time for me to learn more about them! Your channel is AMAZING!!!

I played as a Yuan Ti abomination pirate Captain and it was the best campaign I’ve ever played. Playing as a creature of authority and a monster gave my crew a big moral boost during encounters

Love the yuan ti. If getting such an in depth description of them requires a series. All the better

Woaw didn't notice you switched background music. It's also used in Exiled Kingdoms. Brings back so many feels.

Great video! , i like a lot when lore gives a race a rich amount of details. Yuan-ti is an awesome race.

I have been hoping that you'd cover the Yuan-Ti for a long time, so I'm happy now. They are my favorite race in D&D

Trying to resist immediately watching this video, because I like to listen to ur videos whilst doing some other task like cooking or cleaning. But the temptation is real!

You post such interesting content. As someone who can't get out of bed today, I really, really appreciated this video.

awesome work! thank you for sharing

This is awesome! great video

hey awesome, ive been asking for yuan ti for long time now, loving this :)....suggestion for the future, given you talked a lot about realms, id be curious about Sigil

OH SHIT OH GOD. I was waiting for this video for so long. I've been playing a yuan-ti for the past few months and I love this race! Great video as always!

Literally tried to find this last week abs was sad it wasn’t here yet. It’s fate that this got posted now

I've decided my next character (barring something unexpected) will be a Yuan-ti pureblood Feylock. They were a formerly emotionless spy who accidentally crossed a creature of pure emotion, who decided to curse them in kind even while they turn them into their servant. I picture them not having a whole lot of control over themselves as they adjust.

Very excited for more Yuan-Ti lore one of my favorite monster types in dnd

Thank you for bringing up the post- Mortem conversation. it is so necessary, so under discussed and so hard to get into when playing online

Hey guys, definitely check out the "Escape from the Crystal Moon" adventure! I helped write it, and it's so exciting to see it as a fully realized and illustrated adventure! Thanks so much, MrRhexx!

About to start a campaign with Yuan ti as main villians, thanks for this vid :D

I've been waiting for this for years.

There is an expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2 called Storm of Zehir that explores the Yuan-Ti. Been so long since I last played it, but I remember liking them more than the Drow. Something about a Bermuda Triangle island filled with ancient temples of forgotten gods, and a city (group?) of pseudo colonist exploring the zone, gets my imagination going.

Great video Rhexx. Looking forward to the sequels

last year I grabbed the old 2nd edition of the spell jammer set, and war captain's companion. was a great buy and even better now w the new edition but especially the minnies. I ordered a full case of the spell jammer boosters and will def be getting the ship sets

yay, the Yuanti! I've been waiting for this one (out better yet: these ones - plural) 😁

I remember when you made the spelljammer videos and it got me really into them as a new dnd player so to have you make a adventure with them is something that is a insta buy for me

Brilliant. Thanks for this video.

when I was first getting into 5e, I always liked the Yuan-Ti, and I wasn't quite sure why. I haven't thought about them in a long time at this point, but they still intrigue me nonetheless. I'm curious to see why they have magic resistance.

i have been waiting on this video. especially as i will be playing as a yuan-ti in a campaign soon XD

One minute new Mr. Rhexx? I know what I'm doing after work, lol.

For people who want to play a more monstrous snake like race check out the Naga race from Planeshift: Amonkhet. It is one if WoTc’s crossover books with Magic the gathering.

Great video. Thanks a lot, mate

glad you sound healthy and safe.. last video you were half dead due to covid.. i was so worried when you didnt upload for so long.. welcome back :D

Hell yea. Such great villians. Easily one of my favorites.

I really like the AD&D adventure in Holk House where Yuan-ti have installed cloning vats to breed 7-foot tall mega-men, but I never really understood why they had access to that kind of technology.

Thank you MR RHEXX 🙏🙏💙

Remember my first game of Iceeind Dale and the first encounter with the Yuan-Ti and struggling through the dungeon.

I hope you will talk about Anathemas and the Tainted Ones. I think that they are kinda cool concept for BBEG or PC respectively, especially that they are not talked about enough. As always, great job and thank you :D

Wow Yuan-Ti are awesome! Definitely my second favorite DND race!

Love these lore videos!

Currently running SKT for a party of 5, and the party's healer is a Yuan-ti Pureblood Celestial Warlock. It's gonna be really fun when I reveal that her father is working on a ritual to become an Anathema.

Thankssss for the lore~ 🐍

Love to see the MTG art in there!

As always, great video

MrRhexx videos are my oxygen

Thank you very much for this video.

I do have an idea for an infiltrator Great Old One Warlock, who is a Yuan-Ti that worships Dendar as a means to acquire power. Pact of the Chain + Mask of Many Faces seems like a potent combination for information gathering.

why is it everytime in get interested in something in dnd, mrrhexx makes a video, crazy

Great vid, New spell jammer stuff out to talk about !

MrRhexx, I am running an on-going campaign based around the original Dwellers of the Forbidden City, the original module featuring Yuan Ti. As such they figure very importantly and are one of the main antagonists to my party. I have taken to giving them varying spell-like abilities from those listed - such as Charm Person, Change Self (especially for the Purebloods), Phantasmal Force, Charm Animal (Reptiles and Birds). I’ve kept the Polymorph Other ability for the Abominations to be used to create monstrous slaves and to be used in dark rituals to their alien Outer God.

talk about coincidence, i was just about to browse about the yuan ti for my next game, and here you are.

Hyped! I love my snek bois. Goblinoids next?

Thank you for the video.

I like Dragon Shamans. I'd love to see a video on them. Used to play one and he had a Dragon Skull as a shield. It was in 3.5.

Your lore is great to listen to while playing BG3. Thanks brother and Godbless.

Don't take this the wrong way, but IT"S ABOUT TIME!!! I love snakes and that leads into the yuan ti, however everyone else I have gone to for them have been less than extrordinare. But you always do the best and you don't just reread from the sourcebook word for word, neither do you focus on only the gameplay mechanics which alienates me because I don't play. You also have a semi consistent upload schedule. I have been watching for a few years and you are the best DnD youtuber, take my word.

Thanks for this.

i would love learn next maybe more about Annish hags

Maybe the two ideas, being pragmatic towards the gods and seeking to supplant them, could be reconciled by thinking of the two goals being carried by different Yuan-ti pursuing power via different means? After all, the Pureblood racial bonuses from Volo's apply mostly towards Sorcerer and Wizard rather than Cleric...

Made a Yuan-Ti once, he was suppose to die, kinda of a joke character. Turned out to be one of my fav and most powerful characters.

Funny enough the whole breeding thing can taken away from the Origi scene in “Conan the Barbarian” where they were also eating human stew while using what might be seen as a psychedelic drug🐍🐍💯

Omg, lol, it's like D&D kitchen edition, and I feel like you're describing me as a creature in the game. AWESOME!

Seriously thanks for the ad brother food stamps taking too long

I look forward to these videos! will you make one for aasimar

Great video as always! :) I really enjoyed your videos about dragon lore, do you plan on doing more?

Bravo! I so want to roleplay an Yuan-Ti!

Giving someone power doesn't mean you have the power to take it back.
