Black nagas appear among the N that are part of the second quest monster class for Rogues, and make up 6⁄175 of the monsters randomly generated on the the Rogue quest.
Four black nagas are generated on the fourth variant of Medusa's Island at level creation.
History

Origin
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. Nagas also appear in Dungeons & Dragons.
Their most common depiction is that of a snake with a human head, which the default tileset of NetHack draws from—other iconographic depictions portray them as human from the waist up and snake from the waist down, wholly human with snakes on the heads and necks, or even as common serpents. Various south and southeastern Asian cultures also portray Nāgas as having multiple usually-serpentine heads.
