Naga

{{Quote|Banditry appears to be on the decline in recent years, with most criminal acts being perpetrated not by outsiders, but by natives, such as the "Naga" thugs of Argonian stock.|Imperial Geographic Society|Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Black Marsh]]

The Naga were a breed of Argonian who resembled puff adders with legs and arms and whose height ranged from seven to eight feet tall. They possessed black scales, black eyes. and large mouths full of fangs. They generally lived in the inner swamps of Black Marsh and had very little contact with the Imperials and other races that were not native to Black Marsh.

During the Third Era, the Naga gained a reputation of being thugs who committed the majority of crime in Black Marsh. Among other things, the Naga committed criminal actions such as raiding trade and passenger caravans on the roads of Black Marsh as well as smuggling powerful drugs across the borders of Black Marsh to and from Cyrodiil and Morrowind.
