Venoc

Large snakes that stand upright, armed with two arms that wield fangblades and equipped with mouths filled with teeeth, the Venoc are a fearsome sight to behold. Despite this, they are a passive, swamp-dwelling species primarily. Brave, fast moving on land and in water and relentless, they possess little intelligence and few of them can speak any langauge besides that of the snake. A number of Venoc were once enslaved by a race of lizard-bird people centuries ago, but revolted, destroying said race. The Venoc we see armed with fang blades actually ripped them from the mouths of their fallen captors to use as weapons.

Despite living in swamps, a number of this can be seen in the Lamia Empire, serving as guards, mercenaries, or slaves. Decidedly better off slaves than those taken by the lizard-bird people.
