Naga is the Sanskrit word for snake, and it is also the name of a semi-divine race of supernatural beings. Depending on the source, the Nagas are regarded as demons, deities, a race of serpents, supernatural serpent beings, water spirits, guardians, personified forces of nature, demigods, or divine water-serpents. Nagas, regarded as demon-serpents, answer to one or more ruling gods, such as Anata Sesha, Yama the King of the Dead, and Shiva. Nagaraja rule domains ranging in size from a single field to an entire country. Nagas are expert navigators and began colonies on distant coasts.
