"Snek" meme/joke/whatever aside, is there seriously no race that's like Naga, or Krait (the latter are a gw2 race, but you get my point)?

I had a character idea for a "naval" campaign (game based on coasts, islands, and oceans. Ex: pirates) that involves the character being a Naga/etc, but I can't find a race thingy that lists them as a potential playable race.

Help me out here. Naga/Krait are cool.

D&D/Pathfinder use a version of Naga that are very different from what you describe.

Pathfinder has Gillmen and Merfolk, which are relatively close to what you're probably after.  3.x has a whole bunch, if you go looking widely enough.  Heck, 5e has a version in the MtG Unearthed Arcana.

The Pathfinder stuff is all in the ARG, which is part of the PRD.

Gillmen: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG...onRaces/gillmen.html
Merfolk: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG...onRaces/merfolk.html

There are also Undines, which are humans with elemental water heritage: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG...edRaces/undines.html

Naga also have servitors, though they're very different from what you're talking about.  Still, they're called Nagaji: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG...monRaces/nagaji.html




The merfolk for 5e are here (well, in the download linked here):

I'm looking for races that bear resemblance to naga/Krait. Serpents. I'm not looking for a humanoid fish or human with water elemental affinity. Nor Genasi

In reply to RedTeamPyro (msg # 6):

Well, I'd have to check my books again to verify that Pathfinder has Naga, but I know 3.5 has them. Just got through a session not too long ago in which we fought a naga.
