Legend
edit
A common male cobra will become an ichchadhari naag (male shape-shifting cobra) and a common female cobra will become an ichchadhari naagin (female shape-shifting cobra) after 100 years of tapasya (penance). After being blessed by Lord Shiva, they attain a human form of their own, as well as gain the ability to shape-shift into any living creature and could live for more than a hundred years without aging.

Ichchadhari naags and naagins possess a jewel called Naagmani, considered much more valuable than any precious stone, as it has the power to revive its owner. Legends tell of many people dying through snake bites when they try to steal the naagmani.

When a naag or a naagin is killed, the image of their killer will be imprinted in their eyes. The partner or family of that naag/naagin will identify the killers by this image and take revenge.

Naags and naagins will lose control and are forced to show their true form when they hear the sound of been, a wind instrument used by sapera (snake charmer).

The realm of naags and naagins is called Naaglok. Naaglok is made up of many different clans of naag/naagin ruled by either a Naagraj (king) or a Naagrani (queen). The enemies of Ichchadhari Naag/Naagini are the mongoose, the eagle and the peafowl.
( they have no age just like vampires)

Naga has always meant Snake. Some nagas after 100 years can take a form of any human. They worship lord shiva too.

"However Nagas from gaming universes are not so peaceful." What does this mean?

[Nala.Nakasta]

The crazy thing is, the term “Nāgā” originally meant “fish, aquatic animal” and was cognate with Ancient Sumerian and Egyptian “Nūnā” (also later called “Nākāš”)

There are not not just legends myth and folklore, at least according to many people. Some Hindu's and Buddhist take them quite literally real.
