Final Lamia (Patreon)

The Lamia are one of the few monster species who lack 'feral' members of their species who have been exposed to wild magic. While other monsters become wild, apparently losing sapiency, when they become oversaturated with magic, the Lamia lose their ability to make rational decisions, while still retaining the outward signs of sapient behavior. They become mad, hedonistic, seeking any high or pleasure, utilizing their ability to manipulate light to cut beautiful homes from the ice of their islands, or to hypnotize and enslave other, weaker willed Lamia, or other monster species, into serving them and doing the menial tasks while the Lamia themselves seek deeper and more esoteric joys, always chasing the next high and experience.

Luckily, sane Lamia are far more refined than that. They still are looking for various forms of good time but they are not consumed by the search like their irrational kin.
