Background History: Aarrazos was born to a tribe of nomadic Yuan-ti seeking a city away from their kin and other races. They had recognized worshiping Merrashaulk as a futile endeavor and so went on their journey. When Aarrazos was born his tribe had found the ruins of an ancient race forgotten by time. The tribe elders ensured that the young abomination never knew of Merrashaulk or any other deity, in time he grew and became a cleric of evil itself. Aarrazos grew in power, eventually another tribe of Yuan-ti refugees happened upon the now thriving settlement. Aarrazos learned of the gods and devoured the lying elders. Aarrazos knew that the weakling gods held no purpose for him and that his own kind had grown weak with desperate worship and centuries of complacency. Aarrazos scoured multiple cities of various races, ambition drove him to find a race that could make his own race strong again. Within a necropolis Aarrazos came upon a dread library which held knowledge on grafting for various races. While most of the information was on undead a few pages held information of Illithids, Yuan-ti, and Aboleths. Another year passed and Aarrazos came upon a drow raiding party engaged in combat with an elven settlement, Aarrazos studied the drow in combat and knew his search had come to an end. However the drow would not reveal their homeland when Aarrazos had his slave soldiers capture them. Aarrazos let one flee after killing the others, eventually coming across a series of tunnels that led to the World Below. Another two years passed and the abomination learned much from observing the drow in their cities, he managed to master Undercommon but still hisses from time to time.
Items:
Staff of the traveler: Aarrazos kept this relic from his former elders after devouring them. The staff can grant the user water walk and freedom of movement 5/day.
Concealed Chaos (Ring): Aarrazos created this ring to better aid his attempts to learn from the Drow. Concealed Chaos generates Tongues while worn, however the ring is imperfect and if languages are switched frequently it may misinterpret or simply not translate portions of speech.
Bag of Holding III: Purchased during his travels Aarrazos stores a great many things of personal value in this bag. None of which is directly related to or useful in combat.
Combat:
Great Fang (Blasphemous Long Spear): Aarrazos found that even though his natural combat talents were good, they weren't adequate in combat against longer ranged enemies. He created this spear to remedy that problem. The power of the spear is ineffective against evil foes. Any other aligned creature struck will be overcome with a wave of physical illness and fatigue. Great Fang may also occasionally generate the effect of Blasphemy during combat.
Tail spike: A non-magical silver spike that has been specially modified to remain on the tip of Aarrazos' tail. It allows him to impale enemies that try and get behind him unarmored.

Poison: Aarrazos can deliver poison with each successful bite attack.

Chameleon: Aarrazos can change his coloration of himself and his equipment to match his surroundings.
Detect Poison: Aarrazos can detect poison.
Dissolving Touch: Aarrazos can excrete powerful acid from his body. The acid only works on contact and is useless outside of his body, repeated usage of this ability weakens with each use. After about five times in one day Aarrazos cannot use this ability to any effect.
Mass Aversion: Aarrazos can create a wave of compulsive energy that causes all foes within 18 feet to have an aversion to snakes. Such an aversion causes affected foes to move at least 15 feet from all snakes, Yuan-ti, and their creations.

Combat Weakness:
(Each above ability/power has been adjusted to show for the below weaknesses)
Aarrazos suffers from a very rare minor genetic disorder, when he focuses on an enemy all of his attention is devoted to that enemy; in other words all of his eyes are in one spot. This leaves his range of sight different from other abominations which can focus on multiple enemies at once.
Also due to his being raised away from worshipers of Merrashaulk or any other serpent god his psionics were never honed to full power. This leaves his psionics below what they should be in terms of power, duration, and his usage of them.
Having to traverse the world above took a great toll on Aarrazos in the form of fatigue. Aarrazos must rest heavily each day or he will be unable to focus enough to use his psionics or spell-like abilities.
Having not been properly trained Aarrazos does not know how to create Tainted Ones or Broodguards.
Slaves:
Thim: Human slave, male, brown hair, brown eyes, pale white skin, tongue cut out. Thim has had his skin grafted to scaly skin by Aarrazos. He was bought from a slave trader on his way to the World Below. Aarrazos cut out his tongue when the human tried to run away. Thim happens to be a good cook when properly motivated.
Morain: Ophidian Slave, scarlet skin with pale white underbelly, Morain is talented in various languages and is surprisingly intelligent. Morain chose to become a slave just to be of service to an anathema, Aarrazos took favor on him and let him keep his life of slavery as long as he proved useful.
Kichi: Catfolk child slave, white and black spotted fur, Kichi is an incredibly talented lock pick and thief. Aarrazos found the infant catfolk abandoned in a destroyed camp. Aarrazos saw potential in the child and took her in. She is incredibly affectionate towards Aarrazos and he doesn't seem to mind her company. Aarrazos has grafted poison fangs into her mouth. Kichi has followed in her masters footsteps and is aggressive towards "lesser races" and probably doesn't recognize that she falls into that category.
