Nagas, N, are a class of monsters who have the head of a human and the body of a snake. The class consists of the following monsters and their hatchling

Hatchling

Female nagas can lay eggs, which may hatch into hatchlings. The hatchlings do not have any devastating attacks and are mostly harmless.

Red naga

Be careful not to fight red nagas over ice.

Black naga

While all naga corpses convey poison resistance when eaten, black naga corpses are also acidic.

Golden naga

Golden nagas are able to destroy armor, although having a source of magic resistance negates this. They can also curse items in your inventory, the effects of which can be reduced, but not avoided even with magic resistance or half spell damage.

Guardian naga

Guardian nagas can paralyze you with their bite attack. A ring of free action is handy in this case.

Strategy

Nagas are considered kebabable, able to be skewered, and you receive a +2 to-hit bonus when using a weapon that uses the spear skill.
