Serpentes
Name of Species: Serpentes
Baseline Dimension: They are massive, at least length wise. Most Serpentes easily reach the lengths of 13 feet, though most start at a short 3 feet when young. Rarely is a Serpentes lacking any sort of muscle, genetically buff and lean.
Baseline Appearance: Serpentes have a human top and a snake bottom. Features may include multiple limbs, scales along some parts of their body, fangs, glassy eyes and the prominent snake tail which may or may not have rattles. Forked tongues may or may not be included.
Culture/Origin of Species: Hailing from Arka, these serpentine species have learnt to survive the cold and thrive in the frozen desert. Thanks to a special herbivore called the Iceland Goliath, the Serpentes have essentially created oasis homes in Arka by using the dung of this herbivore to create farms and heat up the area. Serpentes essentially learnt to tame the animal that called the Arka ice land its home. Thus it is not often to see the motif of Iceland Goliaths along clothes the Serpentes wear and a religion where the serpentes worship a Massive Iceland Goliath they call 'Iceland Granmoth'.
While Serpentes in Mystere no longer wear Iceland Goliath fur clothes and care for the herbivore, they still uphold the tradition of wearing paint either on their body or their face in order to help distinct family without needing to ask for names or to express occasions like birthdays and the lost of loved ones.
Traits: List of traits for the species. These are inherent positive quirks of the species that almost all members should have as a baseline. For every 2 traits a species must also have 1 flaw.
• Serpentes are either spitters or constrictors. Either they spit venom at incredible accuracy or bite hard with their fangs to inject the venom, or have the strength to crush cars with their hands or tails.
• Serpentes have more than 5 senses, they have 6. Heat sense allows them to see things that have heat, and they can sense vibrations in the ground to give them a visual image similar to echolocation.
Flaws: List of flaws for the species. These are inherent negative quirks of the species that almost all members should have as a baseline. For every 2 traits a species must have 1 flaw.
• Serpentes lack any smelling capabilities despite having a nose, the part is essentially a vestigial organ. They can still technically taste the smell.
