Starting 1d4+1 days after infection, the victim slowly becomes more snakelike: Its skin grows scaly, its legs begin to shrink and fuse together, and its tongue becomes forked. After two weeks, the victim is fully transformed into an ophidian, with no memory of its previous existence. To stop the transformation, the victim must receive a remove disease or remove curse spell before the process is complete, although these spells do not undo any transformation that has already begun. A heal, regeneration, limited wish, wish, or miracle spell is required to reverse the transformation. Once the transformation is complete, nothing short of a wish or miracle can return the victim to its previous state #### ecology **Terrain** Warm forest and underground **Organization** Solitary or clan (3–12) **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 4–5 HD (Medium-size); 6–9 HD (Large) Malicious but servile, ophidians are a reptilian race mostcommonly found as slaves of the yuan-ti.
