Naga (Rathnir)

Naga is the generalized species name of Humanoid Snake Hybrids. Naga have been around for a few hundred years yet they have no known source, yet there are no lack of theories. The most common theory that many people believe (The Deity Creation Theory) it is said they were created by some god sometime underground in Bardonia and spread out across Rathnir over time. Many others believe (the Awakening Theory) it being that they have been in Rathnir since the start and only recently came out hence why we have only seen them for a while. Either way, not much is known about the origins of the race and it still puzzles us to this day.
== Sub-species ==
=== Proto-Naga ===
Proto-Naga (The first found species of Naga) are the oldest link to the modern common Naga. No one has ever seen a live Proto-Naga and there is no evidence to there being any alive now. The only evidence to their existence is bones, texts, & drawings. These bones formed uncomplete skeletons with bits and pieces of scales, the final form was small and humanoid and its skin almost completely covered in scales. Texts and drawings depicted them as wild beasts that couldn't be tamed while others showed them as quiet but kind loners. 
=== Cephalo-Naga ===
Cephalo-Naga are a old and slightly rare Sub-Species of Naga that are fully humanoid except for its fully snake head. The Cephalo-Naga like its counterpart the Sub-Nāga the scales and snake features will continue to grow over time and although its never been proven its likely they will eventually end up fully covered in scales. Cephalo-Naga are the only non-omnivore of the entire species due their fangs. 
=== Sub-Naga ===
Sub-Naga are a old Sub-Species that is the size/height of a common Naga while having its full torso and below be snake-like. Everything but its head, arms, and upper half of its torso is covered in scales and in the shape of a snakes body. The Sub-Naga like its counterpart the Cephalo-Naga the scales and snake features will continue to grow over time and although its never been proven its likely they will eventually end up fully covered in scale. Sub-Naga's are proven to Slither faster than the other Naga Sub-Species walk and run.
=== Neo-Naga ===
Neo-Naga are the most modern and recently discovered Sub-Species of Naga. Its largest distinction from the other Sub-Species is its looks. It is believed that over time as the Race has expanded over the world that they have evolved to become more humanoid then snake as to fit in with the surrounding organisms. Most Neo-Naga are almost completely humanoid while having scaly skin on some parts of the body and on rare cases snake eyes. 
== Physiology ==
=== Age ===
Most Naga's only live to 25-35 as they are prone to war, but theres evidence they can live up to 100 years due to a few who tell stories of meeting some of such age, and carbon dating of the bones of the Proto-Naga. There is recorded evidence supporting the idea Naga get weaker, slower, and/or lose reflexes over time, yet it doesn't remove the possibility that living for long can happen. 
=== Diet ===
All Naga's are Omnivores except for the Cephalo-Naga which is fully carnivore due its fully serpent like head not allowing it to chew non-living items such as bread or berries. The Diet of a Common Naga contains things such as beef, pork, Berries, & bread, these examples of course are very basic and no one Naga's diet is the same. Naga's get hungry fast and burn calories even faster leading to a need to constantly be investing in future food. Most examples of Naga cultures accept alcohol and some few Naga commonly drink it for morale, but that isn't to say some Naga have converted to religions where its not allowed 
=== Abilities ===
Naga's scales are much more resistant to heat and cold letting them adapt better to almost all climates. Sub-Naga's are very good at strangling with their large body and commonly use it as both a hunting & interrogation tactic. Most Cephalo-Naga's are not venomous but a very small a rare fraction of an already rare Sub-Species do have a venomous bite that can inflict things such as coma and possibly death, although evidence for a currently living one able to do so is yet to be found.
