Can the performing unbowed Nonhuman for Duel of Serpents battle ability be a Nonhuman follower at the battlefield?
Duel of Serpents Open: If another player has higher Family Honor than you, bow your performing Nonhuman or Spirit: Gain 3 Honor. Battle: Choose your performing unbowed Nonhuman or Spirit and target an enemy card without attachments: Bow it.

Yes. Any Nonhuman or Spirit card capable of performing actions may be bowed to satisfy the cost of Duel of Serpents. As per the Glossary entry on Perform: "Only Personalities and Followers may perform actions; no other card type may be chosen as a performer. "
