Naga (Arthe)

Naga are a repto-mammalian species inhabiting the planet Arthe. They use to have two nations with the longest surviving one having fallen to colonization in the 19th century. It's lands now comprise part of a post-colonial republic of many species in the old world.
==Biology==
Naga (Nagini female) have a rather long body with most of it comprising of the heart, lungs, and stomach. The upper body is primarily dedicated to reproduction (womb and genitals) and mild air supply. The main heart, lung, and the Naga's stomach are located in it's lower body along with other digestive organs. Some Naga are born venomous, others are non-venomous with the fangs tucked under the roof of the mouth and folded out when threatened. Naga are typically tested for venom at a young age. The Naga shed skin (on both the upper  and lower bodies) regularly as they grow. Some Nagini give live births while others lay eggs. Some varieties see the eggs hatch in the womb before the young emerge. Naga are primarily more cold then warm blooded and have a heat sense to aid in regulation of body temperature.

==History==
Naga seem to have been around for many years, remains can be found that predate Human society yet much of the old history has been lost. The ancestors of modern Naga lived along side the Rex, and had legs in that ancient era. The reason for the lose of legs is still a topic for scientific theory. There are two known Naga states to have existed in history. The Western Naga ruled an area of desert known as Renjet. Renjetii where not adapt at sailing, but being located along the coast received goods from foreign lands. It exported venom as a posion according to certain accounts and like other nations in the era traded in slaves which brought in non-Naga species. Though in Renjet slavery was a social status and thus even fellow Naga where slaves. Renjet desert stalkers, thieves, and assassins where gravely feared. But by the decline of Renjet the nation had begun to soften; artwork, luxery (some would say decadence) began to take hold of the nation. In a weakened state ancient rivals swept into the land and the nation was no more. According to legend the Queen had gone mad from a broken heart, enough to have killed her own children, and take her own life- sending Renjet into a succession crisis that saw a matriarchal oligarchy form which only fell into infighting and thus brought the nation into vulnerability. Western Naga integrated into the societies of their conquerors and where dispersed or migrated north and south from what was Renjet; though a few made their way East.
