Kobold Vipers:

Kobolds are known to deeply revere and serve dragons, but their dragon overlords rarely pay them much heed or show gratitude for their service. When a kobold is spurned or abandoned, it may seek revenge, defecting to one of the dragons’ greatest rivals, a behir.

Behirs greatly value these kobolds, who work tirelessly to further fortify their lairs—labyrinthine, winding tunnel systems with narrow passageways and ample opportunity to hide. They lie in wait, ambushing unwelcome intruders. Occasionally, one of these kobolds earns a rank of authority, gifted by an Elder Behir, often sprouting two—or more rarely, four—extra arms, and making them exemplary climbers.

Drow Elect:

This rare line of drow are blessed from birth with numerous characteristics in common with their revered spider allies. Some have several tiny eyes dotting their forehead, while others possess prominent spider-like fangs. However, unlike the accursed driders, these dark elves are esteemed members of drow society, typically serving as high priestesses or mages.

By the time drow elect come of age, they have sprouted a number of eerily authentic spider legs from their sides and back—typically four or six, though the most exalted may indeed grow eight. These legs are largely nonfunctional, merely serving as an outward display of the magnitude to which they have been blessed.

Behidra:

The mythical behidra is an amalgam of two monstrous horrors: the behir and the hydra—both abominations in their own right. Like a true hydra, it has multiple heads on long, serpentine necks, but its deep blue, leathery hide is a telltale sign of its behir roots.

Forged in Hate. The ritual used to create this colossal horror was originally devised by Blurntik Battlesting, a former leader of the church of the kobold deity. Blurntik sought vengeance for his excommunication, turning to a forsaken kobold deity for power. Hatching a devious plot, Blurntik allied himself with a nearby conclave of behirs, the mortal enemies of dragonkind. Imbued with divine authority and equipped with the blood of a freshly slain hydra, Blurntik and his followers successfully fused the den of behirs into a single, terrifying entity—the first behidra.

The Cult of the Viper. The successors of Blurntik and other kobolds spurned or abandoned by their dragon overlords may defect, swearing allegiance to the mighty behirs out of spiteful indignation. These kobolds are known as “vipers” as an allusion to their treachery as well their new serpentine masters. The behidra is exalted as the pinnacle of power and has become a religious icon for these scorned kobolds. Leaders of this cult, known as magistrates, are gifted with potent electrical abilities, which they wield as a show of superiority to keep their subordinates in check.
