A typical defiled naga is slender, with the black and red scales of a venomous serpent, though their faces are even more monstrous than those of their spirit naga cousins. Most measure 14 feet long but weigh less than 300 pounds. \n'b'  Death Lovers . Defiled nagas delight in places of death and desolation. Battle-scarred ruins, untended graveyards, despoiled forests, and tangled swamps all attract these repulsive creatures. Where guardian nagas favor places of innate sanctity, defiled nagas seek out places of fundamental corruption, sites they believe to be imbued with dark magics. \n'b' The crypts of long-dead tyrants, the places where great heroes died, and the ruins of nefarious keeps all attract these wretched serpents. \n'b'  Cult Circles . Most defiled nagas believe themselves to be the inheritors of some mysterious dark favor, seeing their innate magical talents as evidence of such. Most commune with vague powers of death and devastation, working profane rites and seeking grotesque auguries from cultic forces. To aid them, defiled nagas often use their enchanting gaze, changing victims into fawning fanatics and would-be sacrifices. \n'b' Defiled nagas occasionally band together in small groups-some seeming to mimic the covens of hags. While a particular plot or foe might bring these deadly serpents together for a short time, defiled nagas are loyal only to themselves, and such alliances always end in deadly betrayal.'
