Shantai Nagas are one of the nastier threats of the shantai mountains and the jungles that surround them.
Shantai Nagas resemble huge constrictor snakes with a six armed human torso where the head of the snake would be. The snakes scales are usually black with red or green patterns, but both all blue and all red scaled shantai nagas have been encountered. The human looking part of the naga resembles a beautiful human youth, with long (if female) or shoulder-length (if male) dark hair. Their eyes are usually green or blue, but glow red when the creatures are angry.
Shantai Nagas have been known to be extremely vain.
Combat:
A shantai naga will often start an encounter by simply appearing and try to start a conversation. This is mostly to gain the upper hand by evaluating the opposition and giving it the oppertunity to use it's psionic abilities and paralyzing gaze. The naga will often attack in mid-sentence allowing it to surprise it's choosen prey. A shantai naga will concentrate it's abilities on spellcasters and psionic characters first, before entering combat with fighter type characters. If possible the naga will try to charm or dominate the most powerfull fighter in a party once combat ensures.
Paralyzing Gaze (Su): Paralysis for 2d6 minutes, 30', Will save (DC: 22).
Psionics (Sp): At will - Charm Person, Claws of the Bear, Detect Psionics, Firefall, Know Direction and Sugggestion; 6/day - Invisibility Purge, Whitefire; 5/day - Domination, Wall of Ectoplasm; 4/day - Brilliant Blast, Ectoplasmic Armor; 3/day - Breath of the Dragon, Flaming Shroud; 2/day - Fission, Improved Anchored Navigation; 1/day - Shadow Body, True Domination; 1/week - True Metabolism.
As manifested by a 20th-level Psion [Savant] (DC = 1d20+5+Power level)
Psionic Attack/Defense Modes: All/All
Evasion (Ex): If exposed to any effect that normally allows a reflex saving throw for half damage, a shantai naga takes no damage on a successful save.
Telepathy (Sp): A shantai naga can communicate with any creature within 100' that has a language.
