Description
Monstrous snake people who appear in the Kull story are apparently also mentioned by CAS and HPL which likely makes them a more generalised Mythos concept. In order to associate them with Yig I have them a bit similar skulls although with less developed supraorbital crests. I also decided to give it very elongated limbs and torso to make it look even more serpentine.

EDIT. It appears I have nailed their description from "The Seven Geases" even before I read this story.

"For as he watched, Tu's face became strangely dim and unreal; the features mingled and merged in a seemingly impossible manner, Then, like a fading mask of fog, the face suddenly vanished and in its stead gaped and leered a monstrous serpent's head!"

Robert E. Howard, The Shadow Kingdom

"(...) and he came anon to the spacious caverns in which the serpent-men were busying themselves with a multitude of tasks. They walked lithely and sinuously erect on pre-mammalian members, their pied and hairless bodies bending with great suppleness. There was a loud and constant hissing of formulae as they went to and fro."
