Swamp Naga 2014

A cloud of biting and stinging insects surrounds the swamp naga. A creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the naga must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 9 (2d8) poison damage and is poisoned for 1 minute. On a success, it takes half the damage and isn’t poisoned. A poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. A wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the insect cloud for 1 minute. As a bonus action, the naga can disperse the cloud for 1 minute.

No insects or serpents can willingly attack the swamp naga. They can be forced to do so through magical means.

If it dies, the swamp naga returns to life in 1d6 days and regains all its hp. Only a wish spell or removing the naga from its swamp for 1 year can prevent this trait from functioning.

The swamp naga is an 8th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks), and it needs only verbal components to cast its spells. It knows the following sorcerer spells:

• Cantrips (At Will): dancing lights, mage hand, message, poison spray
• 1st Level (4 slots): charm person, fog cloud, silent image, sleep
• 2nd Level (3 slots): blindness/deafness, hold person, suggestion
• 3rd Level (3 slots): hypnotic pattern, stinking cloud, water breathing
