The serpents are a race of, like their name suggests, serpent-like creatures. Their movement can be slightly awkward as a result, but they are excellent climbers and swimmers. Much of their race make up the Arkxin Republic, which represents a direct competition to the Anerc Katafygio (Anerc), as they control large portions of the Outlands.
They are dwarfed in comparison to Anerc influence and power, but are definitely still a pain in the backside for them. In an attempt to weaken them, Anerc demonized the serpents, or as they tend to refer to them as, the 'kraits'. They are seen as untrustworthy, sly, and dangerous- and often face heightened aggression from others as a result.

Serpents are a quadrupedal race with, as their name suggests, a very serpent-like appearance. They have long, flexible bodies and short legs- making them stand quite low to the ground. Their heads are snake-shaped- having a very flexible look to them, as they are able to swallow things that are quite large whole. They are, in general, very flexible and stretchy.
Serpents hindlegs are plantigrade. They have five somewhat long and thin digits on their hands and feet - both with opposable thumbs which aids in their climbing ability. They can also posses more than two front legs. The maximum amount of front legs is often six (three pairs). They always have one pair of hind legs though. They can also posses up to three tails that, usually, but not always, split off from the base. Serpents eyes always have a coloured sclera and a large iris that takes up most of their eye. They do not have visible pupils.
Unlike many other shapeshifting races of Arcardia, serpents do not possess scales; instead they are either covered in short, dense fur, or they just have skin. This skin however can have the texture or smooth-ness of a snakes scales. Serpents usually sport fins or flexible spines- or sometimes nothing at all. Bare ass noodles. Some serpents may also possess webbed hands and feet. They however can never have horns or really anything that would make moving through tight spaces a pain. Patterning and colours can be anything, within reason.
