Wise && good, guardian naga are found principally in sacred places, guarding treasure of LG minions, or as watchers over some evil.

In addition to poisonous biting for 1-6 points of damage,
and constricting for 2-8 points, a guardian naga can spit poison at an
individual creature at up to 3" range; and if the victim fails to make its
save versus poison the spittle will kill.

Guardian naga also have the ability to use clerical spells as if they were 6th level clerics, i.e. 2 -- 1st, 2 -- 2nd, 1 -- 3rd, and 1 -- 4th level clerical spells per day. <shukenja?>

Guardian naga are covered in green-gold scales with Dsilvery triangles Dalong the back.
Their eyes are golden.
