Special Traits

• Amphibious. The water naga can breathe air and water.
• Rejuvenation. If it dies, the water naga returns to life in 1d10 days and regains all its hit points. Only a wish spell can prevent this trait from functioning.
• Spellcasting. The naga is an 8th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks), and it needs only verbal components to cast its spells. It has the following wizard spells prepared:
  • Cantrips (at will): chill touch, dancing lights, minor illusion, ray of frost
  • 1st-level (4 slots): charm person, detect magic, fog cloud, thunderwave
  • 2nd-level (3 slots): blindness/deafness, gust of wind, ray of enfeeblement
  • 3rd-level (3 slots): counterspell, sleet storm
  • 4th-level (2 slots): control water, ice storm

Actions

• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage, and the creature must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, taking 22 (5d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Reactions

• Canceling Cascade. If a creature casts a spell within 60 feet of it, the water naga can command water within 30 feet of the spellcaster to rise up and splash against the spellcaster. The spellcaster must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or it fails to cast the spell, losing its action for the turn but not its a spell slot.
