They eat normal food.Niggurath     (HPPS)—A shed phrenic scourge  tentacle  tip that somehow  survived  and found a living host.

The name is closed content; suggested open content name: Giant, Ophiduan.Gorgon   (CCR)—Divided  into "high gorgons"  and "low gorgons." High gorgons look  human, save  that they lack any  hair. They have a thin line running from  their  breastbone to their  groin, which can open to reveal eight or so   venomous snakes growing from  their spines. Low gorgons look like   reptilian lions with tentacle manes  and tails ending in large   bludgeons. The high gorgons use the low  gorgons as pets and watchdogs.   High and low gorgons are different  expressions of the same species; a   small number of eggs hatch into high  gorgons while the others hatch   into low gorgons.

The   Illujans are originally a fixture of the Karathis  campaign setting.<a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/monstrous-humanoids/inphidians" target="_blank">Inphidian  </a> (ToHR, ToH2, ToHC, FF,    ToH4)—Evil snake-headed scaled humanoids with snakes for hands that come    in a number of different castes.

Hominis are   human-like with finely scaled skin; they favor the  cleric and wizard   classes. The semiferum are human-like with scaled  skin and a snake tail   instead of legs; they favor the rogue class. All  have psionic  spell-like  abilities. In a hilarious send-up of the  yuan-ti's society,  the  anguineum are an ancient race that bred with  humans to produce the   hominis and semiferum but the hominis rebelled  and reduced the  anguineum  to second-class citizens. A version of the  hominis caste  nerfed for use  as a PC race appears in Psionics Unleashed; the Third Dawn campaign setting indicates that they are the same monster (or a variant thereof) and that the other castes exist in the setting.Samat    (NAA)—Large sorcerous serpent men, which ruled  a lost empire and now  spend their existences in stasis until they can  rebuild. According to  their fluff they crossbred with humans to produce  the yuanti.<a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/monstrous-humanoids/serpentfolk" target="_blank">Serpentfolk  </a> (PFB2)—Humanoid snakes straight from Robert E. Howard and Call of Cthulhu. Come in a degenerate variety as well.Serpentfolk   (SGtYt)—A sanitized version  of the  Yuan-ti. Divided into "pureborns,"  "halfborns" and "aberrants."  Special  abilities include heat sense and  tremor sense. Possess a   Chinese-inspired culture. Shed their skins  like snakes, and can uses   these skins in a special ritual to convert  humans into "penitents,"   animalistic false-serpentfolk.Sli'ess (GT, SoC)—Lizard-like creatures   that once world the ruled during the height of their ancient empire. At   war with the Lethids (see above).Ssanu     (PsUb, SItCotSE)—Tall serpentine humanoids with two humanoid arms and   the lower body of a giant serpent, their heads are triangular like a   viper's. Possess spell-like abilities (psionic powers in the Psionics Unbound statistics). The name is closed content; suggested open content name: Sthenno.<a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/humanoids/vishkanya" target="_blank">Vishkanya  </a> (PFB3)—Humanoids with finely scaled skin and an affinity for poisons.Yviss (pMM)—The yviss are psionic evil    humanoids that reproduce parasitically, which come in "servitor,"    "hatched," and "bred" varieties. Servitor yviss are humanoids that have    been injected with a conversion venom by hatched or bred yviss that    turns them into slaves to the yviss community. Hatched yviss are scaled    humanoids created when another hatched or bred yviss lays an egg in a    victim that takes over their body. Bred yviss are the offspring of a    coupling between two hatched yviss, which looks like monstrous reptile    people. They take the yuan-ti's penchant for "converting" other    humanoids into pseudo-yuanti and make it their whole shtick.~~~Thank you Voadam, I've added your references to the list.Also, does anyone have a copy of the Thought Ripper by Ryan Costello? It's disappeared from mediafire a while ago and I can't find another copy anywhere.</blockquote>
