A Scale (Lamia)

Down a small road, you can see something shining in front of one of the larger stone structures still standing. It might have been an old tavern or maybe a government or royalty building.

You look to Messy and ask her "Hay, do you see that?" And point out to the sparkling. She looks into the direction tell her attention is caught on the shine. She quickly walks off toward it without looking back to you. "Ok, I guess you do." You run after her as she reaches the shining object and picks it up, inspecting it and flipping it a few times to see every side. When you get close to her she is holding a large scale of some kind. "Hay, let me see that Messy." She seems genuinely fasinatied by the peculiar slab of reptile tell she looks back up to you. She slowly hands you the now mud dripping scale, acting as though not wanting to part with it. A scale this size could only be left by one creature. A Lamia.

Lamia are a odd kind of creature. They appear to be half giant snake, half woman, always cutting off by the waist. They have a woman's head, arms, and torso, but instead of legs they have a long snake tail that's color varies depending on type. The race of the woman parts and their abilities also vary on type. Lamia are often strong enough to defeat people of most races, though different types have different methods to do this. While usually living alone, they can form groups or "families" if they choose to. They all reproduce the same however and have two different appetites they must feed. A normal appetite for food and water, and a sexual appetite for males and females. Lamia will go out from their dens and hunt for food like small animals, but will never pass up the chance to hunt a person. Once they've seen them, they will have their hearts set on that individual until they are dead or enter a area the lamia cannot follow. When hunting people, most will try to sneak up on the person and inject them with venom which will slowly render them limp and unable to move. Blood circulation will increase to insure that male prey will still preform. Others have their own way like hypnosis or brute ****, but all have a venom of some kind and they will often use it when hunting their victims. The venom can also be different like a submission agent or a penis size and sensitivity increasing chemical, but, majority have paralyzing venom. Once the victim is caught, they will coil around them and take them back to their den and use them to sate their sexual appetite and reproduce.

If the victim is a female, the lamia will convert her into another lamia to increase their numbers. The lamia will lick her head too toe in its saliva and then fill her with strong pheromones regularly through her fangs until her body begins producing its own. She will then go through multiple stages of transformation that will not only effect her body, but also her mind. This process can take anywhere between a day or a year depending on the woman's will and during all of this the lamia will pleasure the woman and **** her to pleasure it. This has lead to the diversity in the lamia as different races and creatures will turn into different types after converting. For example, giants will turn into Titan Lamia and dwarves will turn into Copper Head Lamia. Though when it comes to humans, it will often depend on the type of Lamia. If the victim is a male, the lamia will keep him as a permanent mate and attempt to reproduce with him. If successful, she will soon lay a cluster of eggs that will hatch into more lamia. While this is the most efficient way for them to reproduce very few races are compatible this way, leaving their main strategy of keeping their numbers up to be converting women.

You inspect the scale further while Messy looks at you with curiosity. The scale isn't just a normal scale, its special. The type only a specific lamia will leave.
