Lord of all Yuan-Ti, the demigod Hissak rules the 213th plane of the Abyss, surrounded there by a dismal swamp filled with the largest and most venomous of reptiles. This great evil deity can appear as a Human, or any of the three Yuan-Ti forms, although he prefers the form of a huge (20' long) snake. He is always accompanied by two great Boalisks (q.v.) of the largest type with maximum hit points. When in his hybrid Yuan-Ti form, he is 15 feet long, and can either bite with great force (8-48 points of damage plus Save Versus Poison at -6 or die), or will use a special bow, equipped with poison arrows which act as Arrows of Slaying. If he rolls a 20, the arrow pierces the victim's heart and they die immediately, no save allowed. 

Were it not for his frequent wars with Geryon (q.v.), this demon lord would pose a much, much greater threat to the mortal world. As it is, he "only" has time to ensure that his foul spawn continue in their nefarious activities.
