Ecology
Nagpa is a magical creature outside the normal ecological taxonomy — too constructed to be a beast, too natural to be an aberration. It is most often found in coastal regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Nagpa is territorial and aggressive; rarely capable of negotiation in any meaningful way. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Nagpa is reprinted in Monsters of the Multiverse and expanded in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
