This is a mind-affecting fear effect. A target that successfully saves cannot be affected by the user’s frightful gaze for 24 hours. This replaces prehensile tail and poisonous bite.
• Slapping Tail: The naga have a tail they can use to make attacks of opportunity with a reach of 5 feet. The tail is a natural attack that deals 1d8 points of damage plus the naga’s Strength modifier. This replaces prehensile tail.
• Tripping Tail: Naga can hit with their slapping tails, so they can choose make a trip attack as a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. This replaces poisonous bite or hardy.
• Poison Use: Some naga are skilled with poison and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves when applying it to weapons. This replaces the Poisonous bite (which becomes a standard bite) trait.

The Nagans appearance varies widely. Any species of snake may be used, as well as a snake or humanoid head.
