Serpentine

Once human, the powers of darkness transformed the Serpent Queen's most loyal retainers into human-snake mutants.  Serpentine have a humanoid body and limbs, although their skin is scaly with a faint snake-like pattern.  Their heads however, are serpent-like; hairless with no external ears, yellow eyes, slits for nostrils and a wide fanged mouth with a forked tongue.

Whilst they understand human language, they can no longer speak it, instead communicating with each other through a complex hissing patterns of speech.

Serpentines are fanatically loyal to the Serpentine Queen, and will neither yield or flee in the defence of her domain.
