Their upper torso, arms, and head resemble a human female, while their lower body is that of a beast. Lamias are very fast and powerful. They usually are armed with daggers.

The lamia's touch permanently drains 1 point of Wisdom from a victim, and when Wisdom drops below 3 they willingly do whatever the lamia tells them to do.

A lamia is able to use the following spells once per day:

— charm person,

— mirror image,

— suggestion, and

— illusion (as a wand).

These spells are typically used to lure persons to the lamia and then hold them there for the creature to devour.

They can speak their alignment language and the Common tongue.

Lamias prefer to dwell in deserts — in ruined cities, caves, or the like. Lamias first drain their prey of blood and then feast upon the flesh.
