\'\'This is what the Western-style Nagas are, and Lamia, who was associated with snakes. Traditionaly, she was a Lybian queen who ate children, but John Keats might have turned her into a snake woman even though she wasn\'t originally, probably conflating her with Lilith, who was associated with the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

In Hinduism, Nagas (more properly nagin or nagini if a female) are a very diverse group of snake-related entities, ranging from nature spirits to gods. Their king is either the Vedic god of storms, Varuna, or a being called the Nagaraja, and they live in the seventh underworld, Patala, its capital known as Bogavat. They are nature spirits associated with water — rainfall, lakes, rivers, wells, seas and springs — and will bring droughts and floods if provoked.

\\\'\\\'Naga occur frequently in the \\\'\\\'{{Mahabharata}}\\\'\\\'. Even though the text proclaims them to be the \\\"persecutors of all creatures\\\" and they are powerful, poisonous creatures that are hellbent on biting other creatures, the naga we see in the story vary between good and evil.\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'The Buddhist tradition, on the other hand, tends to associate the naga with whatever dragon-like deity exists in the local culture, such as the Chinese long or Tibetan klu. The Buddhist naga is usually depicted as a cobra, sometimes with several heads, or as a human with a snake behind its head, indicating that it shapeshifted into a human form.\\\'\\\'

\\\'\\\'The most famous naga in Buddhism is Mucalinda, the naga that protected the Buddha. When you see the Buddha meditating under the hood of a coiled cobra, that is Mucalinda.\\\'\\\'

Will see if it can be re-added in a more natural manner in the trope, as it seems relevant.
