| I avoided this little issue by simply stating the actual height of my characters as standing. Lengths seem too varied and questionable, and a reader may get confused if you happen to use both statistics (Especially if you mistake one for the other, even just once). Height - no problem. Length? Hmm, we've got a problem.

| I've always though that the human part of a naga was about 20% of their full body length. So if Crisis' human part is about 60ft, her snake part would be about 240ft. That makes her about 300ft long in total.  (20% = 60ft. Therefore 10% = 30ft. 30ft times 10 = 300ft [100%]) |

I just list both height (Ground to head) and length (Head to tailtip) just because it's easior to understand that way. Like Flare, standing, is appx. 5 feet tall, depending on how far back she's reared. Though from head to tailtip, she's about 18 feet long.

| I don't know about anyone else but I use a one third ratio for my nagas, (example: a naga 100 ft from head to ground would be 300 ft total length.) as for human to snake, take the height and have 10% snake, (the naga stated before, would them be, 90 ft of human to 210 ft of snake)
