Part of my original world, Phephelune http://phephelune.tumblr.com/
Nagas have humanoid torsos and serpent-like lower anatomy. Their bodies are covered in very fine scales, and they possess no hair. They come in many variants of color, usually determined by environment. Some nagas will have rows of “pits” along their cheeks, which are used almost like heat sensors. Nagas with these pits tend to have weaker vision.
Nagas have varying venomous attributes. All possess retractable serpent-like fangs along with their more human-oriented jagged teeth, and detachable jaws. Some nagas have no venom, others have neurotoxin, and others have cytotoxin, and some even have a mix. There are some variants that can also spit their venom at threats, usually aiming for the eyes.
Nagas do not value communication with others of their species, and family life is almost nonexistent. This usually makes them seem socially awkward to other species, but they are valued in the government for their precise thinking and mastery of specified skills. They are usually hired as assassins or hunters by the Valkyrie.
There are many more males within naga population than females, and females are rare to show themselves in public environments. They are much larger than males. During the mating season, males will be drawn to nearby females through the strong pheromones they give off, and they lose much of their reasoning as their minds focus on reproducing with this female. This is common knowledge, so nagas will often be given leave from their jobs at these times, regardless if they ask for it or not. Females tend to lay a clutch of 15-20 eggs at a time.
