14. The Reptilian Army
The snake men of the southeastern jungles belong to an ancient race created by a demigoddess in the form of a snake. To this day she remains their official leader, as well as the centre of their religious cult. It is said she still lives in the deep parts of the ruined temple that dominates the jungle. Her continued attempts to spawn a superior warrior race have produced a great variety of forms among her offspring.
