Ophidians are a monster race introduced with The Second Age Expansion.
They are a race of snake-men, in an eternal war with the Terathans a spidery race.
They appear to be native to the Lost Lands, but spawn in several other places as well. (Ilshenar for example.) They also appear to be based out of the Ophidian Lair, an above-ground, but dungeon-like location in the Lost Lands.
The Ophidians appear to be winning the war, but cannot quite strike the "death blow." However, they have Terathan Keep surrounded on all sides.
Ricardo the Thief, when escaping from imprisonment by the Terathans, stole sacred objects from the Ophidians during the escape, thus setting off brutal Ophidian attacks on Britannia. (See Ophidian War.)
For more details on the fictional "backdrop" of this evil race, see the article labeled Ophidian, which largely details their history prior to the discovery by Crawworth of the Lost Lands, and their history in the single-player Ultima games. (Which is separate and distinct from UO history.)
