Ageratina is a huge example of his race. While the humanoid torso of his upper body is human sized, the serpentine lower part is extraordinarily long. His body is covered in thick scales from his head to the tip of his tail. His head is humanoid with a slightly longer neck, the loose skin on his neck folds out into an ornate hood.

His scales are a mottling of green and brown forest colors and his slit golden eyes are fixed in his skull.
Surprisingly, his face is very expressive and mobile, able to show complex emotion and convey feelings through his body language.

He wears only a few pieces of armor to guard his weak spots, his natural scales providing the best protection except otherwise, and clothes are a non-necessity for the scaled creature.

Unlike normal examples of his race, he is not as cold blooded as his kin, as far as his personality goes anyways. He's far from the emotionless reptilian warriors of his tribe, instead he is expressive and eloquent, possessing a keen wit and sharp tongue.

He keeps his friends close and his enemies closer. He is poised and tactful in any situation, but ruthless, brutal, and cruel when it comes to violence, his cold blooded side truly coming out at such times.

Tactician: He's a deadly strategist and tactician. He can see a situation from multiple angles and how best to move the pieces on the board. War is almost second nature to him.

Learned: He loves to learn new things. He loves to read and he loves to experience new things, his thirst for knowledge is a driving force of his travels.

Agile Hunter: In spite of his great length and weight he is extremely fast and agile, able to move quickly through trees or whatever terrain he finds himself in. He is also surprisingly silent when he moves.

Spear Master: He is a master of heavy pole-arms, his weapon of choice is a heavy Guandao which he wields to deadly effect.
I Smell You: He possesses an excellent sense of smell, his nose is excellent and he is also able to flick out his tongue and taste the air.

Infrared: His reptilian eyes allow him to visually detect the body heat of living creatures.

Poison Spit: He secretes a lethal venom in his fangs, if needed he can spit this venom at long range with deadly accuracy.

Scent Glands: Their language includes both sound and scent. Glands around the neck and wrist can create remarkably complex instructions and will be used to leave signals to future raiding parties or mark territory. They have no written word. A scent mark on a tree could identify a human settlement nearby, its size, distance and direction and how much of a threat it is.

Poisonous: Due to his serpentine nature and propensity for venom, he is immune to non-magical poison.

Infrared: Because of his reptilian eyes that detect heat, he can easily become blinded by flames or other overwhelming heat sources.

Cryophobia: He's not afraid of it, but the cold and ice attacks effect him severely, making him extremely sluggish.

Ageratina was hatched deep in the jungles of Nagai. There was no tribe, no family, only the jungle. There was no mother either. So in order to survive the hatchlings ate each other, and only the strongest survived.
He had no name at the time, since there was no one to give it to him. He grew up wild in the jungle, preying on anything that hadn't the ability to escape his squeezing coils. He was territorial, anything that came near to his nest was a threat.

But when the Naga found him they managed to capture him. With food and much prodding they were able to somewhat tame him, and then slowly began to teach him the things he never learned. How to speak, their culture, the rest of the world, they showed him maps and taught him how to fight with a spear. And finally they gave him his name, Ageratina Altissima.

He stayed with that tribe for many years, he became a great warrior of the tribe and led them in many successful raids. He taught himself how to read in common and began reading every book he came across. He learned deeper, more complex strategy which brought the tribe greater success in their raids, and even against rival tribes.

His life with the tribe was good and he was happy, but he couldn't remain happy if he stayed with them. So one night he left without a single word and never returned. He returned to the wilds and explored on his own, seeking knowledge that he couldn't find in his tribe.
