Vyvyanwere

Vyvyanwere is a fictional species introduced in the role-playing game Pathfinder. These beings are described as shapeshifters with a unique ability to transform into a serpentine, draconic form. Their origins are shrouded in mystery, with some lore suggesting they are the result of ancient magical experimentation or a rare mutation within a draconic lineage. Vyvyanwere are known for their cunning and often reclusive nature, preferring to observe and manipulate events from the shadows rather than engaging in direct confrontation.

In their natural form, Vyvyanwere typically appear humanoid, though they possess subtle reptilian features such as scaled skin, slit pupils, and a slightly elongated jawline. Their true power lies in their transformation, which grants them enhanced physical abilities, venomous attacks, and sometimes even a limited form of flight. This dual nature makes them formidable opponents and intriguing allies. Their society, if it can be called that, is fragmented, with individuals or small family groups operating independently. They are often associated with ancient ruins, forgotten temples, and places where elemental magic is strong. The motivations of a Vyvyanwere can vary widely, from seeking lost knowledge to accumulating wealth or simply enjoying the thrill of deception and power. Encountering a Vyvyanwere often means navigating a complex web of illusions and hidden agendas.
