'LAMIA' Like many creatures of nightmares, the lamia appears a hybrid of the human female with a serpentine lower body. Legend has it that they were once forest nymphs, enslaved by Xanthak the Lich with iron collars, then tasked to devour the offspring of the vulnerable and unsuspecting. Far from mindless creatures, a lamia is capable of disguising itself to appear in human form and infiltrate their villages. Only those whom may see through an aura of evil can sense the true form that lurks beneath their unassuming disguise. In addition, even though a lamia may appear to have been vanquished, their souls actually exist in both the realms of the living and the dead at the same time, and the only way to kill one for good is to vanquish them in both realms simultaneously. Otherwise, the lamia has a nasty habit of always finding its way back into the land of the living. The lamia will return to devouring the young and can survive for centuries per meal. Because of this, only the most powerful mortals will have the power to truly defeat a lamia, and this makes a lamia's tail a highly prized trophy. Lamia is a player requested CUSTOM RACE most similar to SLITH.
