IQ:	12	Per:	12
HT:	13	FP:	13	SM:	+2

    Fangs (11): thrust 1d-1 impaling (KYOS: 1d impaling) + 1d follow-up toxic damage (resisted by HT-1), Reach C.
    Acid Blood: A spirit naga seeps acid if he suffers any cutting, impaling, or piercing injury. It bleeds on the weapon that wounded it – or its foe, if attacked with Claws, Teeth, etc. Until it stops bleeding (see Bleeding, p. B420), the acidic blood drips on everything nearby. This works like any other Aura, and the naga can deliberately attack others by flicking its blood around. Blood deals 1d-1 corrosion damage.
    Charming Gaze (12): By locking eyes with a victim, the spirit naga can attempt to control its mind as per Mind Control (p. B68).
