Yuan-ti Swamp Soldier

Yuan-ti soldiers are the reliable middle ranks of serpent empires. Unlike fanatics who rush toward glorious sacrifice, these warriors are trained to preserve themselves, control territory, and make every enemy defeat serve a larger design. A soldier may spend weeks observing a settlement before striking, learning guard rotations, drainage routes, and which villagers can be bribed or threatened.
