Dark naga

A dark naga was a variety of naga that looked like a large purple snake or eel with a barbed stinger at the end of its tail and a human face. Dark nagas could speak Common and Infernal. They liked to plot with other sinister creatures so that they could gather wealth more easily.
==Description==
Dark nagas measured up to approximately long.. Their scales were dark blue or purple, often with black frills or scale patterns. The body of a dark naga was more similar to that of an eel rather than a snake. Its tail ended in a poisonous stinger.
Their veins contained an oily black or dark brown gore. The naga poison, or venom, was a thick black viscous fluid that dripped from the tail singer's venom canal when agitated.
==Society==
Dark nagas descended from Terpenzi were called nagara.
==Combat==
Dark nagas would attempt to use high terrain to their advantage to stay out of the reach of their enemies.
==Abilities==
They could cast sorcerer spells and their stings carried a poison that could induce a nightmarish sleep. They were resistant to all charm effects and had the permanent ability to detect thoughts. Similarly, their own thoughts could not be read.
==Allies==
The Zhentarim were known to use dark nagas as mentors and leaders for bands of orcs. Dark nagas also worked as divine servants of the duergar goddess Deep Duerra.
