Medusa
Medusa
With one cruel glance, a medusa can best the sharpest sword, turning her enemy into stone. Averting your eyes is not enough to deter her attack. If you avoid looking at her, she will step forth and unleash her serpentine hair, capable of thousands of highly poisonous bites.
Medusas can be cruel creatures, but - like humans - the are not all the same.
Medusa like to carry and use knives, daggers, or short bows as a secondary weapon.
Children of medusas grow at the same rate as humans. They are harmless until about two years of age, when the serpentine hair comes to life. By the times the medusa reaches the age of thirteen, she will gain the power to petrify.
Maximum Height: 5 to 6 feet tall (snakes add another foot)
Maximum Weight: 150 pounds
Habitat:Can be found almost anywhere, though some dwell in cities because of involvement in criminal underground network
Society: Solitary or covey of two to four
Diet: Large rodents and other small beasts
Language: Common
Attack Methods: Petrifying gaze, poison
Best Defense: Blind her! She can still turn people to stone, but it's hard to aim at what you can't see

Yuan-ti
Yuan-ti
Yuan-ti - a race of half-human, half-snake creatures - are calculating, suave, and extremely evil. they spend months on battle plans-building elaborate traps, making alliances with other creatures, and using all their considerable intelligence to win a fight before it's even begun.
A pureblood yuan-ti looks human, but on closer glance, bears a forked tongue, pointed teeth and patches of scales on its neck and limbs.
Yuan-ti disguise themselves as humans and walk among them as spies. A halfblood has more obvious snake features, like a snake's head or tail. A yuan-ti abomination looks like a giant serpent, except for its large muscular arms. Abominations are leaders and extremely gifted spellcasters.
Maximum Height: 5 to 6 feet
Maximum Weight: 200 to 300 pounds
Habitat: Warn, forested areas, but also build temples in old ruins and occasionally underneath human cities
Society: Tribe or nation
Diet: Birds
Language: Common, Dragonic, and Abyssal
Attack Methods: Poison, spells, acid
Best Defense: Try blinding them so they can't see well

Behir
Behir
Decent picture is unable to be found right now....
A behir can slither as smoothly as a viper one moment, then unfold its dozen legs and race ahead with considerable speed. The two large horns on its head and neck appear frighting, but they are actually used for cleaning the creature's hard scales, not for fighting.
A behir doesn't take kindly to human intruders, but its worst enemy is any member or dragonkind. It will stop at nothing to drive a dragon out of its territory.
Maximum Height: 40 feet
Maximum Weight: 4,000 pounds
Habitat: Cliff faces
Society: Solitary
Diet: Any living being
Language: Common
Attack Methods: Lightning bolts, swallow whole, constrict
Best Defense: Stay far away from it and scatter so it has to focus on one of the people at a time!

Habitat: Muddy riverbanks
Society: Solitary or tribes of 6 to 12
Diet: Large fish, crocodiles, hippos and other river dwellers, and raccons. Only occasionally an unlucky human
Language: Common
Attack Methods: Constrict
Best Defense: Use your best spells to distract it
