Snake Men

Encountered in a mysterious temple in Antarctica, surrounded by statues depicting more of their kind. Several were seen encased in ice, with others being 'revived' by recieving transfusions of warm blood from humans. Those few that were 'active' displayed abilities similar to those who follow the teachings of Mesmer, not magic, per se, but powers using the untapped portions of the mind. They are possessed of strong jaws and have a paralysing poison that can be injected with a successful bite.
