Editing Lamia (section)

===Midgard Lamia===
The [[Midgard]] campaign setting for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] features both lion-taur lamia and snake-taur lamia. The latter are playable, featuring in the "Unlikely Heroes" sourcebook, and they hate the former, whom they regard as pretenders and fakes; they seek to kill them wherever possible.

Midgard's serpentine lamia descend from humans warped into half-serpents by a demonic curse. Attributes of this include an insatiable sense of longing that most try to drown out with hedonism, stunted creative abilities, an obsession with cruelty and pain, and a warped gender ratio that causes females to outnumber males 3 to 1. Their cursed beauty means that, whilst not immortal, lamia stay beautiful and youthful-looking throughout their lives. They shun the gods and embrace arcane magic, but have a strange spiritual appreciation for the moon.
