Guardian Naga A5E
CR 10 monstrosity
Large monstrosity, chaotic evil
The naga can breathe air and water.
The nagas lair is under the forbiddance spell. Until it is dispelled, creatures in the lair can't teleport or use planar travel. Fiends and undead that are not the nagas allies take 27 (5d10) radiant damage when they enter or start their turn in the lair.
If it dies, the naga gains a new body in 1d6 days, regaining all its hit points. This trait can be removed with a wish spell.
