On many outlander worlds, Merrshaulk serves as the god of the yuan-ti. His portfolio includes poison and somnolence, and his holy symbol is the head of a cobra. Under 2nd Edition rules, normally only yuan-ti abominations can become spellcasting priests (or at least specialty priests) of his cult[1].
Inside the Demiplane of Dread, Mersshaulk worship is known among the dimunitive reptile men of Souragne's swamps. Originally from some outlander world, this race of reptile men venerate him as a god of reptiles. Their cult recognizes Sandovor, a human werecrocodile imbued with all the powers of a specialty priest of Merrshaulk, as Merrshaulk's high priest living and even avatar of their deity. The cult makes monthly human sacrifices to Sandovor and Merrshaulk, through a communal devouring of the sacrifice. Under Sandovor's leadership, the reptile men have built a a pyramid serving as a dedicated place of worship for Merrshaulk, though it only remains partially completed[2].
