VIII. Naga
aka Sea-Slitherin’ F***s
Naga are the ancestors of Highborne followers of Queen Azshara who were banished from Night Elf civilization for their unrestrained abuse of Arcane magic, eventually falling to the corruption of the Void and developing the serpentine body they are known for today. They now follow Queen Azshara, and is the primary threat on the high seas besides the Horde Navy.
Physical Attributes:
The Naga have long-serpent-like lower bodies, and hulking, muscular upper bodies with eel-like features and fins around their faces. They are capable of breathing and fighting both on land and underwater, giving them the ability to launch strikes against coastal settlements and areas with ease. Being poor climbers and dependent on saltwater environments, seawalls and submarine patrols are both effective defenses and deterrents against Naga attacks.
Behavioral Traits:
The Naga are an intelligent race, use cunning, deceit and treachery to lull their opponents into lowering their guard, then strike with deadly precision when the opportunity presents itself. The Naga are a cowardly race, a trait facilitated by their ability to quickly escape and disappear into the tides whenever the battle does not go in their favor. The Naga are also fanatically loyal to Queen Azshara, who rules over them with an iron fist.
Weaknesses:
Being descended from a strictly stratified night elf society, they rapidly collapse without their appointed commander and easily succumb to decapitation tactics. Their cowardice makes rapid strike tactics highly effective, especially when it takes out a few of their leaders before they are able to react.
Conclusion:
There are few things as dangerous on the high seas as a force of Naga raiders. For this reason, fleets should always be accompanied by submarine escorts and Marines should train for underwater combat - where the Naga are at an advantage.
