Media set in the Warcraft universe

The Naga are mutated Highborne. They have snakelike tails in place of legs, and have other serpentine features, such as scales and fins. The Naga were created when the Well of Eternity imploded and sundered the land. Many of the Highborne went down with their city into the depths of the sea. Their queen named Azshara made a pact with the Old Gods to save the remaining Highborne, thus the Old Gods cursed them and twisted them into the Naga, due to the remaining residual energies of the Well of Eternity they took on new shapes, new powers and started to fester a new hatred for their former brethren the night elves. Males are large, with muscular arms and torso, additionally, they have two dorsal fins starting near their tail and running up their back, short tentacles erupting from their chin, and are most often dark blue. Females are slimmer by comparison, but still fairly large. They have four arms, larger dorsal fins and are usually a pale green color. Also, their faces are much more humanoid compared to the males snake-like snouts. In Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne they are lead by the Naga Sea Witch Lady Vashj who is under the servitude of Illidan "The Betrayer" Stormrage. They make multiple appearances throughout the first two campaigns, as enemies in the first campaign and allies in the second. In World of Warcraft, the Naga are not a playable race. However, they appear as NPC characters or as enemies, being present in almost every region with a coastline and in certain dungeons. The Naga capital lies underneath the Great Maelstrom.
