Remember that this comes with the same costs and benefits as the form itself, and that it takes 5 turns to shift into or out of a form.
+*Any [[form]] that suppresses anatomy mutations will allow Nagas to move at normal speed (at the cost of losing constriction).

 {{Hard}}
-Nagas are slow moving, which makes it impossible to escape most opponents by retreating. And, being large (low EV) and deformed (AC penalty), they have poor defenses. Scales and [[barding]]s will eventually boost your AC, but these don't kick in until later in the game. To get by the early game, make the most of your Poison Spit and Stealth. Don't be afraid to burn consumables against any dangerous encounter.

 Once a Naga survives long enough to come into their own, however, they acquire an excellent array of useful perks, including: high HP / good AC, auxiliary [[constriction]], and nice resistances (rPois, good willpower, see invisible). The slow movement speed will blight them the entire game, but survival becomes much less of a struggle.
