There's one more monster to go this month, and I'm looking forward to unveiling it tomorrow!
An octopus head with a
mouth surrounded by tentacles tops this serpentine body, from which sprout six
arms ending in wicked claws.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Brush with Madness
(Su) After a nameless naga’s mind-affecting spell ends or is resisted, the
target creature must attempt a DC 37 Will save or become confused for 2d6
rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Dissolution (Su)
If a swallowed creature is reduced to less than 0 hp, it must succeed at a DC
43 Fortitude save or disintegrate, healing the nameless naga by an amount of
hit points equal to twice the creature’s Hit Dice.
Eviscerate (Ex)
If a nameless naga maintains a grapple against an opponent, it deals 2d6 points
of damage to a physical ability score of its choice in addition to the chosen
action.
Independent Grapple
(Ex) A nameless naga can grapple up to three creatures of two size
categories lower than itself (or smaller) without negatively impacting itself.
Improbable Arcane Engine (Su) During its turn, a nameless naga can either use deeper darkness as a quickened spell-like ability or cast a quickened 6th-level spell or lower, without using higher slot.
Spells A nameless
naga casts spells as a 20th-level sorcerer.
Surprise Slash (Ex)
A nameless naga inflicts half its sneak attack damage to an opponent it has
grappled.
Will Suppression Aura
(Su) The first time a creature enters a nameless naga’s will suppression aura,
it must attempt a DC 37 Will save. On a failure, it permanently loses any
immunity to mind-affecting effects it possesses, and replaces it with a +8
enhancement bonus on saves against mind-affecting effects. Creatures without
immunity to mind-affecting effects that first enter the aura take a permanent –8 penalty
on Will saves on a failed save. This is a curse effect. The save DC is
Charisma-based.
Nameless nagas sprung from naga covens who heeded the
strange call to travel to dimensions beyond mortal reckoning and came back from
the journey…changed. Their altered minds gave them greater command over arcane
power and their bodies mutated to make them fearsome adversaries. They have
also undertaken a mission to open their world up to the dark gods from beyond
and extract information about ancient rituals from their victims to that end. As
nihilistic agents of their new lords, they care little about the state of the
creatures they encounter and leave gibbering, fearful wrecks in their wake.
Unlike many other nagas, nameless nagas work well together
and form covens to better enact their plans. A nameless naga coven works similarly
to a hag coven, but only has access to gate,
interplanetary teleport[UM], mass suffocation[APG] (DC 31), and weird (DC 31). When all three nagas are
within 20 feet of one another, they increase their spell resistance by 5, the
save DCs for their spells increase by 2, and their regeneration changes to fast
healing. A nameless naga coven can convert a different type of naga into a
nameless naga during a two-day-long winter solstice ritual. This new naga must
find or form its own coven.
A nameless naga is 25 feet long, including a tail reaching 8
feet in length, and it weighs 1,200 pounds.
