Help Shade be really, really evil

[Shade]

I'm calling on the collective rat bastardness of my esteemed colleagues to help me create a creature that answers the age-old question, "What happens when the Far Realm taints the yuan-ti?"

Essentially, I'm about to send my players into a jungle region containing a kaortic cyst, which just so happens to contain a heavy yuan-ti population. I'm looking for an original creature, not just a yuan-ti with the pseudonatural creature or half-farspawn template. We're talking an alien abomination mixing the worst traits of serpents, psionics, and alien insanity.

Pitch me your concepts, and we'll craft one or more of these puppies here. My party is 24th level, but the creature can be of lower CR as long as it can be advanced to the within 1 or 2 CR of 24.

I doubt this'll be very useful, but when I was a kid I alway thought King Hiss, from the Masters of the Universe, was quite freaky. I mean, he looks like a normal guy, and then his upper body...I don't know, explodes, and there's this stalk of writhing hissing serpents there, all attached to a pair of legs that still walk around! That certainly seems pretty Far Realm-ish to me!

Actually, all the Snake Men would work really well with the yuan-ti. I remember one of them could stretch its arms to constrict, and another had snakes in its eye sockets...freaky!

there was also the Cobra-La from the G.I.Joe movie.

Oh yeah, they created that Serpentor fella, right?

 

[BOZ]

i'm not sure... it was so long ago!

When I posted this, I never thought it would become a discussion of 80s cartoons!

Speaking of which, those weird dudes that served Omnicron in the Transformers movie were kinda Far Realmsy.

 

[BOZ]

Quintessons? with the five-heads?

 

[Shade]

Yep, those are the ones. Bizzarro!
