The uragaraja is a horrific corrupted nagaraja. Where the nagaraja generally is of a bright green or dark jade with brilliant azure and golden scales the nagaraja has the color patterns of desert serpents such as a brilliant copper interlaced with crimson and black. They are ancient and come from before the time of the great Nirvana but were corrupted even before those times periods and a catalyst that caused them. These massive viper hydras dwell under the sand of shores, oasis, lakes, caves and deserts only to erupt when nomads or herds of camels are moving past and slaughter everyone and everything. If a wander encounters an entire dead caravan of nomads; people, sheep, camels, horses and all, that is probably a sign of the fallen nagarajas who take delight in bringing horror and slaughter and letting the bodies slowly rot, making it easier for digestion. Sometimes who kingdoms have collapsed from these horrific beings spreading their black and green plague clouds into the air, but the uragaraja are gluttonous and could care less, after the devour an entire town or city of dead bodies they will once again return deep into the sand to slumber for eons. The uragaraja despise nagas, tian'lung, ryujin and phoenixes. It is an incredibly jealous creature that of all the dragons it was one of the few who were unable to fly, and it curses its luck for being bound to the earth, mentioning this to the uragaraja will send it into a seething rage and it frequently enjoys sadistically torturing slaves because of this great cosmic failure of their primordial forefather Takashaka. Other Uragaraja enjoy dwelling in temples in corrupted civilizations, being feed by slaves especially in ancient civilizations ruled over by rakshasas such as uragas, panagas, oni and their akuma overlords. Legions of undead can be awakened by the uragaraja's necrotic breath and march forth. The corrupted naga kings love decadence and splendor and have golden jewelry and rings pierced through their thick hides. Generally, these decadent tyrants enjoy sleeping in vast sacrificial pits where they are hurled victims frequently and sleep or have conversations with their favorite slaves. Truly these beings can be charismatic and enjoy their servants' company but the servant is always hesitant when speaking because he understands that the uragaraja is simply amusing himself with his prey and playing petty mind games to manipulate others to fight amongst themselves simply for his sadistic amusement. Uragarajas have a taste for grand monuments to them and are generally pleased when massive monoliths, temples and statues are constructed in their honor. They also love watching gladiatorial combat. These beasts can be the true corrupters of human civilization. Thankfully their numbers are incredibly rare and there might be fewer than a hundred or more in the world. Additionally, they dislike their own kind and will fight savagely, sometimes devouring the loser. Occasionally they breed and bury their eggs in the deep desert sands to be heated by the scorching sunlight.
