Ep. 211 Snake Folk

About this episode

The episode explores various snake-based humanoids and their unique characteristics.

Everyone remembers the famous line in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” where Indy says “Why did it have to be snakes?” Well our Daring Druid (and resident ophiophilist) Ben Siepser often wonders “Why isn’t it ALWAYS snakes”? So this week we take a look at a few of our favorite snake-based humanoids including the naga, the ophidians, and the dreaded Yuan-Ti. Just a bit of a warning, the reproductive cycles of these creatures gets REALLY weird, so make sure to have a pen and paper ready. Also keep an ear out (no pun intended) for my DeKalb Flying Corn shout out! Facebook Twitter
