Storyline[edit]
Theros[edit]
Lamias are female monsters created when powerful emotions caused by the gods' actions consume a mortal's mind. Nyxborn creatures, lamias will themselves into being with wildly varied physical forms reflecting the creature's twisted imagination.[1] Some lamias appear to have scaly, bestial bodies and humanoid faces (<c>Thoughtrender Lamia</c>). Others feature serpentine appearances vaguely resembling naga (<c>Gravebreaker Lamia</c>).

Trivia[edit]
According to mythology, Lamia was a mortal queen cursed by the goddess Hera and transformed into a monster who hunted and devoured children. In later traditions and storytelling, the lamia became a type of phantom, which seduced youths to satisfy their sexual appetite and fed on their flesh afterward.
