Editing Lamia (section)

===Monstergirl Encyclopedia===
In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], the lamia was one of the first mamono to get her own profile. They are characterized both by their love of using their coils to hug their mates and by their possessiveness; lamia do '''not''' let their men go once they choose them, and before KC retconned out any and all "dark" content, they would actually kill their husbands if they dared to cheat on them.

Other branches of the lamia family tree, aside from the [[Basilisk]] and the [[Medusa]], include:
* Apophis: A cobra lamia from the not!Egypt region, named for the serpentine god of evil in Egyptian mythology, that uses her aphrodisiac, mind-controlling venom to conquer territories to rule over.
* Echidna: A powerful lamia variant that can give birth to almost any form of mamono besides its own, who create elaborate [[dungeon]] complexes in order to lure skilled, powerful [[adventurer]]s to claim as their husbands. Takes its name from the Greco-Roman "Mother of Monsters".
* Shirohebi: A white-colored lamia variant from Zipangu, a surprisingly shy and docile lamia mage skilled in water [[elementalism]], who tend to serve as [[cleric]]s to "Ryu", the Zipangu dragon-girl species. They're still as possessively jealous over their husband as normal lamias, though. Take their name from a famous Chinese/Japanese folk story involving a white snake who turned herself into a human and fell in love with a human man. Still retains the ability to use flames from the story but they are instead used to bind the man to become dependent only on her instead of using it to roast said man alive.
* Bunyip: A fluffy lamia variant that inhabits rivers, they suffer from such crippling shyness that they completely lose the ability to speak around guys they like, until eventually they get so overheated with lust all they can think to do is pounce on him and coil him up for mating.
