Naga

Naga

Nagas are the otherworldly guardians of sites of great power. They have the form of a cobra with the upper torso and arms of a humanoid, and their scales often shimmer with magical power. Guarding magical tombs, points of power, and planar gateways, Nagas are nonviolent and preternaturally perceptive of one’s character. They will bless those whom they deem worthy, but place sickening curses on any whom the Naga believes should not enter into the area which they guard.
