Omnimal Serpents are a perfect example of duality and contrast. Able to shift between slithering on a long tail, or walking on bipedal legs, these Serpentfolk are often as deadly as they are alluring. They can possess vibrant scale patterns across their skin, multicolored eyes, and even venomous bites. The dominant culture of Serpents is an enclave known as the Veneficar, which is constantly fractured by smaller sects vying for supremacy among their own ranks. Several enclaves often exist within a single Veneficar city, never ceasing their attempts to assassinate, influence, or blackmail their way to the top of their extremely strict social hierarchy. Yet these people are also exceptionally gifted practisers of medicine, and are devoted to the cause of collecting knowledge to make themselves wiser and more powerful. They are a deeply spiritual people, with their own ranks of soothsayers, ritualists, and priests. Travelling Veneficar are often surprisingly easy to get along with, as they rarely act as direct aggressors, and many enjoy seeking out new experiences as they seek to understand the world. They sometimes become renowned physicians, though many are criticized for being heavy-handed with potions and drugs.
