Lamias prefer to dwell in deserts -- in ruined cities, coves, or the like. Their
upper torso, arms, and head resemble a human female, while their lower
body is that of a beast. Lamias are very fast and powerful. They usually
are armed with daggers.

A lamia is able to use the following spells once per day: charm person,
mirror image, suggestion, and illusion (as a wand). These spells are
typically used to lure persons to the lamia and then hold them there for the
creature to devour.

Touch drains 1 point of WIS: The lamia's touch permanently drains 1 point of
wisdom from a victim, and when wisdom drops below 3 they willingly do
whatever the lamia tells them to do.

Lamias first drain their prey of blood and then feast upon the flesh.
They can speak their alignment language and the common tongue.
