A ha-naga has no set color, butinstead adapts the hues and shades of its scales to matchits environment, much like a chameleon. The head of aha-naga is that of a classically beautiful woman or handsomeman.Ha-nagas prefer to make their lairs in the ruins ofancient civilizations, once they have brought about thedownfall of such places, of course. A ha-naga’s favoritelocale for a nest is a former center of society—a temple,a throne room, or a coliseum. It is in this place wherethe ha-naga gathers together the treasures of the society,bringing art, fine jewelry, and the recorded historyof the civilization together as a tribute to its own devastatingprowess.COMBATA ha-naga has the ability to fly, winding and coilingthrough the air in a manner similar to awater snake’s motion. It uses this to its advantage,swirling above and around foes as ituses its gaze attack or casts spells. Like itssmaller cousins, a ha-naga prefers theuse of spells in combat, resortingto melee only as a lastresort. When it does engagein combat, its swift speedand quick reflexes make it aformidable foe, stinging with itstail or constricting opponents withits body.Flight (Su): As per the flyspell, 120 ft.
