Nagas are half human, half snake people. There is many different species and sub-species in Felarya, from the enigmatic diamond nagas to the rare Hydranagas with three human bodies attached together, their number is too great to be properly listed. Their size vary a lot as well, from 6 feet "head to ground" to about 120 feet head to ground and 360 feet long in total for the bigger specimens.

Giant nagas are very dangerous and pose an enormous threat for adventurers in Felarya. They are fast and agile predators, surprisingly silent for their size and possess a huge appetite. They love to ambush convoys and small groups of humans. A giant naga eats about 5 humans a day to stay healthy and much more to be satiated. If the hunt is poor, they can switch to animals and some have even included vegetables and fruits in their diet.

Nagas possess a very strong stomach. Not only it can digest about everything but it's very resistant as well. Once an unfortunate adventurer is trapped here, there is really only one thing that can happens...

In battle, a naga use bare fists or sometimes weapons but above all: their tail. The tail of a naga possess tremendous strengh, especially when swung and their scales are very solid. However nagas are usually peaceful toward other creatures and not really a war-like race. The exception would be toward dridders which are their natural enemies since time immemorial.

Most nagas are potentially powerful spellcasters, though their talent appear rather late in their life ( besides ice and emerald nagas to who magic is as natural as breathing )

Nagas have usually a favored element to them. This means they feel more at ease and in focus when in contact to it. They also are more prone to learn magic based on this element and more resistant to it as well.

Hydranagas

A very rare, almost legendary species of naga. They are said to live in the deepest portions of Felarya, that very few explorers have ever reached. From the tales describing them, hydranagas have a multi-colored snake part and three humans bodies attached together, each of them with their own personnality and skills. For example, an hydranaga could be composed of a patient and quiet strategist, a fierce and impulsive warrior and a cute and shy spellcaster. This make hydranagas an extremely powerful and versatile creature when the three bodies are in accord, which is not always a given...

Like one could guess, hydranagas have an enormous appetite. As a matter of fact, from the tales depicting them, it appears that each time a hydranaga was seen, they were pushed out of their zone by hunger, rampaging and gorging themselves on entire villages before taking off once satiated.

Diamond nagas are the absolute bane of spell casters. Their entire body attract spells like a metallic bar attract lightning in a storm. The naga can then choose to reflect it back to the caster

which is what happens by default, or absorb it to strenghten their own magic. Indeed, diamond nagas are excellent spell-caster themselves.
