The lucky beings who find one of Yavalech's artifacts in life are granted new powers at the expense of slowly turning into a snake or snake hybrid. It does not matter who they are in life; in death their metamorphoses are made permanent and they come to serve as pets and servants. The eldritch horror loves its pet snakes and often allows them to keep vestigial features of their previous species. They never forget their forced metamorphoses. Needless to say, many snakes are horrified by their fates, while others adjust over time.

Yavalech never seems to tire of adding new pets to its domain and so more artifacts find their way into the physical universe to ensnare the fates of others. The terror of Yavalech's method to obtain new pets has inspired many to fight against it. Teams of experts have sought to locate and neutralize the artifacts, but too frequently their quests end in the throes of writhing and hissing.

When contacted for comment, one of Yavalech's pets responded, “hiss.”

Now that it's year of the Snake I thought this would be a good time to share this Mass Snake TF I made a few years ago and uploaded to my DeviantArt. I am going to make sure to do some more snake TF this year to add to the growing number of slitherers out there.
