Self-Proclaimed Ruler and Protector. The swamp naga is a manifestation of the swamp it inhabits. Its physical form is reminiscent of snakes, and marsh plants grow from its head.&nbsp;The naga's strong tie to the swamp provides an impetus to protect its home and to believe it is the swamp's sovereign. Because of this strong link, a swamp rarely hosts more than one naga, unless it covers vast territory.
