	'''Mindsnare Nagas''' are a particularly deadly variaty of Nagas, as they exist both in physical form, but can also metamorphize into a pure psionic being, living the back of a creature's mind, infiltrating its thoughts, obscuring its memories, and taking deep root in a [[Dreamscape]], making it nearly undetectable and indestructible without killing the creature as well.		'''Mindsnare Nagas''' (''MSN'') are a particularly deadly variaty of Nagas, as they exist both in physical form, but can also metamorphize into a pure psionic being, living the back of a creature's mind, infiltrating its thoughts, obscuring its memories, and taking deep root in a [[Dreamscape]], making it nearly undetectable and indestructible without killing the creature as well.

	If left to brew in a creature's mind long enough, the Naga can begin to have toxic and dangerous effects on the world around it, starting small but slowly growing. It has been theorized that a single ~~MindSnare Naga~~'s range could take a psionic grip on the entire realm if left inside the mind of a particularly ancient creature such as a [[Dragon]] or a [[Tortle]].

			Some of the powers a Mindsnare Naga has include:
⚫	~~Such~~ an example of ~~this~~ was [[the Naga's Glaik of Galik]], in which a single ~~Mindsnare naga~~ brought Galik to its knees around 500 [[PR]].

			* '''Ensnare:''' the Naga’s tail lashes out and ensnares a creature within 30 feet.
⚫	Another ~~Mindsnare Naga~~ had infected the mind of the [[Autom Lord]]/[[Vessel]] in the 800s [[PR]], but was exterminated by [[The Moon Court]].
			* '''Enrapture:''' the Naga stares into the eyes of anyone captured in its snare and casts a magic command.
			* '''Enervate:''' the Naga spits a corrosive acid up to 60 feet that burns through leather, wood, metal, and flesh.
			* '''Engage:''' the Naga can instantly move up to 40 feet.
			* '''Enfeeble:''' the Naga projects a sibilant whisper into the mind of a creature within 60 feet, wracking it with mental anguish.

			The last ability of an MSN is to psionically anchor itself to any piece of divine architecture in the real world, much like a [[phylactery]], allowing its psionic essence to stay immortal in the mind of creatures for as long as the architecture stood.

		⚫	A particularly powerful example of an MSN "Perfect Storm" was [[the Naga's Glaik of Galik]], in which a single MSN brought [[Galik]] to its knees around 500 [[PR]], and was able to anchor itself among pillars hidden deep in the massive urban labyrinth that is Galik.

		⚫	Another MSN had infected the mind of the [[Autom Lord]]/[[Vessel]] in the 800s [[PR]], but was exterminated by [[The Moon Court]].
