| − | Nagas are slithy, limbless monsters with thick hides that are classified as [[strong]] and capable of consuming meat; with the exception of black nagas, they are also omnivorous. Female nagas are [[oviparous]] and capable of laying eggs. All nagas have [[poison resistance]], and you may gain the intrinsic from eating naga meat.

| |
| − | The Nāga (feminine "Nagi") are a supernatural race of half-human half-serpent beings that can occasionally take human form, and hold cultural significance in the folkloric traditions of many South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures over the past two millennia. Their most common depiction is that of a snake with a human head, used for their inclusion in ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' (which ''NetHack'' draws from) - other iconagraphic depictions portray them as wholly human with snakes on the heads and necks, or even common serpents. Various south/southeastern Asian culture also portray Nāgas as having multiple usually-serpentine heads.

| − | The naga is a mystical creature with the body of a snake and the head of a man or woman. They will fiercely protect the territory they consider their own. Some nagas can be forced to serve as guardians by a spellcaster of great power.
