Appearance
Psionic nagas, snakes with human heads, are warm-blooded and have a dazzling display of color on their scales. Their eye and hair color usually match their scale colors. Many are two-tone and in the blue spectrum: blue, green, and purple are common, though occasionally red is known.
Combat
Naga often set traps to snare trespassers. Their telepathic powers and breath weapon are first used in a fight, followed by their formidable psychokinetic and psychometabolic powers for melee. They can tail lash for 1d4 points of damage, and on a damage roll of 4 score a knockdown. They have been known to use the tail lash in conjunction with the Body Weaponry power. The breath weapon is a 12 hit die cloud of sleep gas. It may be used once per turn.
Habitat/Society
Psionic nagas live mostly solitary lives, foraging over a small area. They favor caves, aka 'mountain retreats', for homes. The sexes are distinguishable by their facial features, though young naga have snake heads until a painful molting process at puberty. Psionic nagas spend much of their time in meditation, exploring their inner space, but are still conscious of their environment.
Ecology
While nagas do not produce trade goods, their lives span many human generations and they keep a detailed oral history, so they are good sources of information. They are often protectors of treasures or artifacts, especially psionic ones. Psionic nagas have been known to join adventuring parties looking for 'insight'.
Varients
Guardian, water, spirit, and dark nagas are detailed in the Monstrous Manual.
