Yuan-ti Mind Whisperer

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

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

When the yuan-ti reduces an enemy to 0 hit points, the yuan-ti gains 9 temporary hit points.

The yuan-ti casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 13):

At will: animal friendship (snakes only), message, minor illusion, prestidigitation

3/day: suggestion

2/day each: detect thoughts, hypnotic pattern

The yuan-ti makes two Bite attacks and one Scimitar attack, or it makes two Spectral Fangs attacks.

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

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage.

Ranged Spell Attack: +5 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) psychic damage.

The yuan-ti transforms into a Medium snake or back into its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. If it dies, it stays in its current form.
