A Yuan-Ti is a serpent-like humanoid creature in Dungeons & Dragons, known for its intelligence, cunning, and sinister nature. Originating from a dark history of ancient, arcane experimentation, Yuan-Ti were once humans who underwent a transformation through a powerful and forbidden ritual, blending their form with that of serpents. This transformation resulted in a variety of distinct Yuan-Ti subtypes, ranging from nearly human in appearance to fully serpentine, with features such as snake-like eyes, scaly skin, and serpentine tails. Yuan-Ti society is typically centered around worshiping dark gods, especially those related to serpents and deception, with many factions of Yuan-Ti being highly hierarchical and secretive.

Yuan-Ti are often portrayed as manipulative and ruthless, using their intellect and charm to control and deceive others. They are excellent strategists and excel in espionage, as they often infiltrate other societies to achieve their goals. Their connection to magic is also a key aspect of their power, with many Yuan-Ti being adept spellcasters. They are known to practice a variety of dangerous, necromantic, and enchantment-based magics, which they use to further their political and spiritual agendas.

While not inherently evil, Yuan-Ti are typically seen as a malevolent force in D&D campaigns, driven by a desire for power and control. They are often the antagonists in stories, seeking to subvert or dominate civilizations. However, their complex society, with its various factions and internal power struggles, can make them a compelling and multi-dimensional enemy or ally, depending on the circumstances of the campaign.
