-Crawling through the [[Lost Ruins]] of the [[Borderlands]], Tomb Vipers and their relatives, the [[Serpent Magus]], wait for foolish adventurers to enter their dark domain.  These serpent-men are similar in appearance and behavior to the various Claw Vipers of Diablo II.
+Nagas are serpent men clearly inspired by the {{iw|Claw_Viper Claw Vipers}} first encountered in Diablo II. Thus far they have only been seen in the desert tombs and desert oases of Act Two, though it's likely they will inhabit some of the other acts in Diablo III.

+The vipers in Diablo 3 are primarily melee attackers, but they have other abilities as well.
-Vipers are tangible while invisible; at times they would remain hidden until a player ran into them. Literally; characters would hit invisible obstacles and find their progress blocked while moving through one of the desert tombs, and after a second the cause of the delay would become evident when several Vipers appeared, in very close proximity to the character.
+The most often used is an ability to wait, invisible, until a hero comes into range. Players "saw" this when first encountering the Naga in the tombs below the desert surface in Act Two, during the [[BlizzCon 2009]] PvE demo. A common player experience was to find invisible objects in their path through the tombs, sometimes to the point of entirely blocking the way through a narrow chokepoint, such as a stairway. Only after a second or two would the Tomb Vipers appear, usually around half a dozen at once, all surrounding the hero.
-In the Blizzcon Diablo 3 Panel part 3 video around the 3:47 mark, tomb vipers have the ability to appear as humans.
+Another ability has been seen in a few screenshots and gameplay movies, as certain Vipers cast a Nova-like circular ring of lightning. It's not known if this is a boss ability, if there are certain Naga Shamans with this talent, or if all the Naga of some particular type can do it.

 The various types of Vipers in Diablo 3 were first seen at [[BlizzCon 2009]] and in assorted media. They were found in all of the desert tombs below Act II in that build, and can be seen in numerous screenshots and gameplay movies from the show.

	They do have one confirmed new ability; a sort of cloaking device that lets them become invisible as long as they remain motionless. This was only "seen" during the Blizzcon demo when they were first found; a level would appear to be open and clear, and as a character ran through it the Vipers would appear once they began to move, when the character was in very close proximity.

+Nothing is known about how these types differ, other than by appearance.  The Serpent Magus have a Helmet that covers their head completely while the tomb vipers wear helmets that expose their toothy mouths.  It is rumoured that Serpent Magus have spell casting abilities.
