Devil's Sight

Magical darkness doesn't impede the yuan-ti's darkvision.

Magic Resistance

The yuan-ti has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Multiattack

The yuan-ti makes three Bite attacks or two Spectral Fangs attacks.

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage.

Spectral Fangs

Ranged Spell Attack: +6 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) poison damage.

Merrshaulk's Slumber (1/Day)

The yuan-ti targets up to five creatures that it can see within 60 feet of it. Each target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or fall into a magical sleep and be unconscious for 10 minutes. A sleeping target awakens if it takes damage or if someone uses an action to shake or slap it awake. This magical sleep has no effect on a creature immune to being charmed.
