When the forefathers of men still crawled upon tree limbs, the andropheis (plural; singular androphis) walked amongst the thunder-lizards. The ancient rulers, the Serpent People, cold and proud and wise in wizardry, strong in sorcery. But Time brings all things low, and in their turn they crawled into the dark depths, driven below by the rise of the elves and dwarves and men above. Yet they did not perish, nor forget their past, and still they plot to reclaim the world under the sun. Andropheis can cloak their forms with illusions, or reveal their true faces to hypnotize foes with their unblinking gaze. Once they strike, the hypnosis is broken… but often so is their foe. Instinct: To reconquer the earth

• Hypnotize prey with its gaze
• Conceal its nature with illusions
• Strike with ancient sorceries
• Sibilantly summon the serpent-men
