Basic Information

Anatomy

Naga resemble enormous snakes with shoulders, arms, and a torso that resembles a humanoid form. They typically hold their heads and torsos off the ground while moving, but they can increase their speed by lowering their bodies and using their hands for extra propulsion. They adorn their torsos with armor, jewelry, and a vague nod toward the clothing worn by other races. While not all nagas have hoods, amongst those that do male naga have broad hoods, wider than their shoulders, while females have narrower hoods and longer faces.
