This mock spell is magically imprinted in the bright naga’s mind from an early age, and it cannot be changed. #### tactics Given a chance, a bright naga takes advantage of its labyrinthine lair, drawing enemies into an exasperating combat in which the naga appears, strikes, and disappears over and over again. #### ecology **Terrain** Warm mountains **Organization** Solitary, nest (2–4), or entourage (1 bright naga plus 2–5 troglodytes) **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 7–10 HD (Large); 11–15 HD (Huge) Nagas are intelligent creatures with a variety of magical powers. They are natural masters of those around them, using subtle wards and clever traps to keep intruders from disturbing their peace. The bright naga is a far weaker creature than its better-known kin. It lacks the poisonous bite and the array of spells that are common among more powerful nagas. Some say that bright nagas are evidence of genetic flaws or unfavorable mating choices on the parts of “true nagas.” All nagas have long, snakelike bodies covered with glistening scales and more or less human faces. A bright naga is 15 feet long and weighs about 500 pounds. Its eyes are bright and intelligent, burning with an almost hypnotic inner light. A bright naga’s gold coloration darkens toward red when it becomes angry.
