Naga

In Hinduism, the nagas ("snake") are an ancient race of snake-humans that brought fertility to their venerators; they were especially popular in southern India. They are Varuna's servants. Nagas live in a type of palace called Patala, many of which are in Bhogavati, an underground city. The Nagas according to Hinduism:\n*Manasa\n*Mucilinda\n*Sesha (King of the nagas) Alternative: Sesa (Java) For Malay sailors, nagas are a type of dragon with many heads; in Thailand and Java, the naga is a wealthy underworld deity. They are children of Kasyapa. In Pali, a naga may also be an elephant or a tree. In modern fantasy fiction, members of a race with both snake and human characteristics are often called nagas. In the game, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Nagas are High Elves that were driven underwater and eventually mutating into snake-like creatures.\n
