“Then there have also come
nagas from Lake Nabhasa,
Vesali, and Tacchaka.
Kambalas, Assataras,
Payagas, and their kin.
And from the River Yamuna
comes the prestigious naga, Dhatarattha.
The great naga Eravanna:
He, too, has come
to the forest meeting.”
-Mahasamaya Sutta, _Dīgha Nikāya_, 20. ca. 500 B.C.

Useful Info

Nagaraja are the most powerful members of the naga race, and are found guarding the chamber of the serpentine rune of Zot in the Snake Pit. They are capable opponents in both melee and magic and have far more endurance than lesser nagas.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Spit Poison (d22) Natural flag,
Breath flag
Slot2 Venom Bolt (3d19) Wizard flag
Slot3 Poison Arrow (3d22) Wizard flag
Slot4 Dimension Anchor Wizard flag
Slot5 Haste Wizard flag

Tips & Tricks

Both of their combat spells are difficult to fully resist against; poison resistance will take the worst of the sting out of Poison Arrow, while high AC can somewhat reduce IMB. Deflect Missiles will give you a decent chance of avoiding their attacks entirely. In any case, try not to let more than one have line of fire to you at a time, and don't charge into the rune chamber.
