Lamiai like to live in deserted towns, ruins, and other desolate places. These creatures have the upper body of a woman and the lower half of an animal.
Typically a lamia is armed with a dagger, but these are really just tools. Lamiai are able to cast these spells once per day: charm person, mirror image, suggestion, and illusion (like the wand). They use these spells to lure their victims and then hold them. The touch of a lamia permanently drains a single point of wisdom; once their victim’s wisdom falls below 3 they will do as the lamia instructs. The lamiai like to drain their victims’ blood, then devour their flesh. They speak the common language.
