Typical Stats

ST:	17	HP:	17	Speed:	6
DX:	11	Will:	10	Move:	7 ground, 7 water
IQ:	10	Per:	10
HT:	13	FP:	13	SM:	+2
Dodge:	9	Parry:	N/A	DR:	2*

    Sharp Teeth (11): thrust 1d-1 cutting (KYOS: 1d cutting), Reach C. The victim that takes damage from this attack must make an immediate HT-2 roll or take 1d toxic damage. Every minute for 6 more cycles he must make another HT-2 roll to resist or take the same amount of damage. After losing 2/3 HP to this poison, the victim gains a -3 penalty to HT until he heals above this threshold.
    Short Spines (7): 1d-2 impaling plus, Reach C. This is defensive weaponry, intended to discourage attackers; a water naga cannot use his Spines actively. However, it gets a DX-4 roll to hit each foe in close combat with it once per turn, as a free action. Roll at +2 against foes who attacked it from behind. Those who grapple or slam a water naga are hit immediately and automatically – and those who slam it take maximum damage!
