D&D 5E MotM: thoughts on races in Monsters of the Multiverse

[Raduin711]

Are the Yuan-Ti presented as fully snake people, or just humans with snake eyes and a forked tongue? Do they have feet or a snake bottom?

 

[Kobold Stew]

They're presented as fully humanoid ("pureblood").

Snakes don't have bottoms.

Snakes don't have bottoms.

Think Harryhausen's medusa from Clash of the Titans. As in, where the bottom half of the person would be, is a snake.

Technically, since Pureblood got removed from the Yuan-Ti PC racial option POST Monsters of The Multiverse, your Yuan-Ti PC isn't a Pureblood right off the bat unless the player states he/she is. So yes, your Yuan-Ti pc can be/is a fully Snake Person. And...............

The lineage stat block also doesn't have any features reflecting challenges and advantages to having a snake lower body (unlike, say, the Centaur lineage stats).
