The Felaryan world does follow logic, though it's very fantasy based a lot of thought is put into the various species to try to make it more interesting- things would get pretty boring if everything just ran on magic purely. Many of the species particular niches are not just to eat humans to satisfy the vore fantasy here, its a world where things are uncertain and the many kinds of species interact een preying on each other through a logical order of predator and prey. That probably was not worded the best way but the point stands that the creatures designed here try to follow some logic in that they inherit traits of the species they were based on for the most part with other features added to blend into the world more- Felarya is a crazy place so crazy adaptions come into play.

Anyways I apologize for even further detracting from this thread and move to get back on topic, that being said I am fully in favor of more Nagas having more distinct snake like features. One idea that comes to mind is a Naga whose style is heavily focused on the snake portion and reflects this: key points being it retains more of the snake senses mentioned far earlier in this thread but as a trade off loses a lot if not all of its magic abilities that are very present in the current nagas. Reasoning behind this kind of naga would be as the Predator Sense seems to be based on the levels of magic within a creature, these kinds of naga lack a focus in magic to hide from the predator sense to a degree to hunt more equal sized prey. Another idea just to toss in the air is of some Naga species to appear even more snake like- instead of a giantess upper body it could be scaled still for instance and hell for a step further maybe even a serpentine head, a kind of breed in between giant snakes themselves and the Nagas we know.

That's it for my two cents for now, if possible I'd prefer to keep this as flame free as can be. Each side has brought up very valid points with Felarya being fantasy based and having a great deal of mystery and danger to it along with very logically inspired predators and creatures to add some realism to this world and make it more entertaining. Mixing these two things up can result in some pretty damn cool ideas.

Yeah...learn to listen to the big folk here. They made this land. You can't just walk in and start telling them how it is. We also like respect here. The last punk kid to annoy us...remember cookeaw? Do you know where he is now?

See that pile of naga droppings....?

You know...if you're going to be a Geo-science Major, I'm pretty sure you can bring up more credable sources then wikis.

Just a little remark about the word "logic", when you program computer and software you understand better his meaning. Logic consist to link different elements in a consistence ways however depending of the universe you are it can change. That's why in mathematics 1+1 = 2 is not always true.

Concerning an ice naga, it would be illogic for me since the moment we are on Earth where the physical and biological laws are clearly known. It would require strong and solid explanation from the author of the story to convince me. So ice reptile which was appeared on Earth, yes it can be illogic.

Now an ice naga in Felarya, is it illogic ? No, assuming there is creature able to size shift, giant hybrids human animal, the world is cross world between many dimension,there is magic too and we are not on Earth. I deduce this thing we can find a part of the physical laws on Earth but not only that, it's obvious many creature on Felarya are build in different way than creature we fin in Earth.

So let's return to an ice naga, the sentence should not be it's illogic but how is it possible?, so if the magic of Felarya affected the cold-blooded nature of an ice naga, how? Do the elemental affinity is behind that, maybe?

So, knowing what I know about snake and magic, there is a possibility the affinity with ice play a role about how a naga can live in a cold environment. Do they use the ambient cold to be active as the opposite as the other naga, so in very hot place like Pyrale mountains they will be less active or does their metabolism work differently as the naga with the affinities of fire instead of emit heat they emit cold. And if I remember it's possible to be burned by ice.

So guys please about magic, Quantum give a characterization and a good explanation on magic you can find in Felarya and this guy knows science as good as everyone. As I asked to people when they use magic in this story I want just a clear and consistent definition of the role the magic in the story.

Conclusion, Felarya follows a logic but it doesn't mean it follows at 100% the logic of science of the modern on Earth.

Hmm...so are we suggesting a different specie(s) of naga than these ones? Sort of a "feral" naga, with much more snake like attributes, but without much innate magical ability? That sort of raises interesting points on other predators...

I'm wondering...would there be "feral" versions of other predators, with less magic? Is magic some how related to the intelligence and "humanness" of the classic Felaryan predator?

Hmm well I see how that could have been viewed like that but it wasn't my intention...so sorry if I came across that the human part was special like that and stuff. What I meant was just a type more akin to the attributes brought up, in this case the snakes and their sometimes cannabilistic nature- which led me to thinking of how they would best accomplish this, one way would be to try to avoid the predator sense so less magic for less ability to be detected. By all means these kinds of predators could still hold the characteristics of the current nagas, just wanted to point out a way for them to better be able to fill their role.
