Notes

Serpent-Tellurian
Nicknames/slurs: Snakes, Forked-Tongue, Fake-Face

Average Lifespan:
90 years

Average height:
6'9" - 8'4"

Diet:
Entirely carnivorous, they are unable to substitute meat and protein despite their adeptness for agriculture.

Physical appearance:
Bipedal reptiles with digigrade legs, and thin wide scales spread along their neck and torso, along with the back of their tails, with a silky smooth layer of skin-esque scales across the rest of their body, which sheds every other month. Specimens of the species are primarily unique in coloring and patterns, the varying factors being their forebears and place of origin. Like most reptiles, they are completely incapable of growing any type of hair.
Unsurprisingly, gender plays a key role in coloration, as males tend to have drastically darker shades than females, however the conditions in which they live under plays a key role as well.
Cross-breeding with species other than their own is- ~~i'll come back to this one i had a seizure trying to write it~~
Perhaps their most well-known attribute, is their groove on their lips that enable their tongues to enter and exit their mouths without needing to open them, they use said tongue to sample the lingering air molecules to track their prey. Their off-spring have unique pheromones that would allow a parent to find them should they become separated, provided their proximity isn't too far apart.

Preferred living conditions:
Due to their nature, climates below 20 celcius will become increasingly uncomfortable, and should these conditions be remained in can result in eventual complete organ failure, as they are incapable of producing their own body-heat to compensate for innate cold, making overburdening amounts of clothes a necessity in cold environments.

Strengths:
Their scales can offer (however considerably limited), protection from small lacerations and blunt force trauma.
Depending on the sub-species, it's possible for them to be equipped with a potent neurotoxin to paralyze prey.
A natural patience and keen awareness allows them to hear, or smell someone in close proximity.

Weaknesses:
Tails make movement awkward in tight environments.
Cold environments will debilitate a Serpent and they wll seek to leave post-haste.
Pitiful eyesight leaves them unable to identify a target clearly beyond a hundred meters.
Reproductive cycle can be dangerous, and thus is avoided when possible, limiting their population.
