Naga

Nagas are snake beastfolk. The word usually refers to cobra-like beastfolk, although it may be used for other types of snake-people as well. Contrary to popular belief, they are not innately evil and have no relation to the demonic Apophi or Lamia.

Appearance

All nagas have the upper torso and arms of a man and the tail of a snake in place of legs. Most all nagas also have snake-like heads, though a few types in certain regions may have more human-like features, though their bodies are still covered in scales and their slightly more human heads have fangs and snake-like eyes. Generally speaking, however, most all nagas share a typical beastfolk appearance, with snake heads in addition to their other bestial features. They come in a wide variety of types and colors, like their animal counterparts. Their eyes also come in a variety of hues natural to either snakes or men, including yellow, orange, red, blue, and green.

Culture

The cultures of the various types of nagas remain shrouded in mystery. Many snake-folk prefer to fight with poisoned weapons, using their own poison to coat their blades. Their societies vary widely between various kind of nagas, but it is common for the snake-folk to guard ancient temples and ruins. They can be found all throughout Midgard, bearing a variety of appearances and cultures.
