Spirit Naga

Spirit nagas live in gloom and spitefulness, constantly plotting vengeance against creatures that have wronged them - or that they believe have wronged them. Lairing in dismal caverns and ruins, they devote their time to developing new spells and enslaving the mortals with which they surround themselves. A spirit naga likes to charm its foes, drawing them close so that it can sink its poisonous fangs into their flesh.
