Nagas can only tolerate their kind to a fault, they are territorial and wish the be left alone. Unless, of course, they are in the company of their partner/s.
There are many kinds of Nagas, but they are classified into two main kinds:
Soft-bellies: As their name indicates, they have softer belly scales, which makes them extremely fast. This adaptation is seen in Swamp, Costal, and Forest Nagas.
Tough-scaled: As such, these Nagas have a tougher layer of scales. This adaptation can be seen in two main places, Mountain and Desert Nagas.
Nagas are masters at magic to a fault. Their big bodies process their food and transform it into mana energy and they create so much of it that the excess sweeps onto the area around them. This is a huge advantage, as plants with mana grow exponentially, attracting prey. The more mana, the better prey.
However, this is also dangerous, as it can attract predators that a naga would have trouble to dispatch. This is believed to be the reason why nagas isolate themselves from their specie.
However, Mountain nagas are an oddity. They are one of the bigger genes, and their tough scales don’t let their mana spread as much. As such, they are one of the weird species that tend to conglomerate and share a space with the others. It has been found that their dens tend to connect through subterranean passages.
Unlike snakes, nagas are good parents to their hatchlings. They feed them and start to teach them skills that will help them in the future, especially hunting strategies and crafts such as weaving and blacksmithing. Once the hatchling is big enough, it’ll be kicked out of its parent's den and be left to be around the territory till it can defend itself against other nagas.
That period is also when they hone in on their magic types, as it can be a dangerous process for their bodies.
