Homebrew Naga Species Details
Nagas are humanoid in shape, but have a wide variety of noticeable serpentine features, including a snakelike tail in place of legs, a partial covering of scales, snakelike pupils, and other features. They often range widely in coloring and scale patterns, but are usually similar in size. Most will 'stand' at a height about equal to or just above that of a regular human, however their long tails trailing behind them allow them to raise themselves up by a few feet to intimidate foes, or simply get a better view of the surrounding area. Nagas enjoy warmer climates due to their serpent ancestry, and can often be found in tropical or arid regions.
