● Two long, venom-producing fangs that can fold back up against the roof of the mouth when not in use (upper mouth)
● Immunity to poison (including their own venom and the venom of other Nagas).
● A snake tail from the waist down as opposed to legs. As a naga, Atem will have this coloration (x) with scales in this shape on his back and belly.
● Snake-like eyes with slit pupils (red).
● Claws instead of fingernails (white).
● Cold-bloodedness, with increased resistance to heat but vulnerability to cold. Cold temperatures will cause them to become sluggish and weak, thus easier to defeat.
● Increased speed and the ability to strike a target incredibly fast.
● Heat vision. By concentrating hard enough, the Naga will be able to detect anything giving off heat, even in the dark.
● Atem has a thin, subtle seam that runs along his jaw from ear to ear; when he feeds, this seam opens into a full second mouth, which is for draining the liquefied insides of a poisoned victim and remains closed at all other times.
OPTIONAL CHANGES:
● Increased protective instincts, pulling from Wadjet myths
● The ability to change into a large snake (big ol Egyptian cobra). In this form the character will be able to travel faster, however, they will also be more vulnerable. His hood will have a pattern that resembles a monocle cobra, only you know what the eye looks like.
● A rattle on the end of their tails that can temporarily mesmerize humans. His will be made of bone and cartilage and resemble a simple sistrum. He'll keep it wrapped in cloth most of the time to keep it from mesmerizing humans by accident. AS OF AUGUST, the rattle has been amputated and offered as tribute to the Fog to seal the rift during the Monster's Pearl event.
● Forked tongue with a Jacobson's organ (inside the upper mouth; blue).
● The ability to freeze humans on the spot with extended eye contact and eventually turn them into stone. Only Naga venom can cure a human effected by this condition. Petrified humans are still conscious and aware of what's going on around them.
AS OF AUGUST 5: ● Snakes instead of hair. These snakes are either yellow in color (a few in the front), or black with red heads. There are a couple dozen of them, and they are of varying lengths, reflecting how his old hair usually looked. They are not independent animals, but their behavior reflects what Atem's feeling at the time. He cannot consciously control them.
