Nagas are the Indian spirits of the land and water. They can take many different forms including snakes, humans with snake tails and normal humans, often beautiful maidens. Nagas are rumored to have many magical powers, and like faeries are rumored to be masters of the art of invisibility. They, also like faeries, live in magnificent underground cities, the grandest of which is Bhogavati in the Himalayas. It has never been seen by human eyes, but it is said to be made of jewels and its streets are paved with gems. Most nagas are helpful towards humans, sometimes helping them find lost treasure, or win prizes. However the Naga-Sanniya are violent and malicious to humans, causing nightmares about snakes.
