“The name of a snake which lives on the Malayan Peninsula, and of a dragon that swells in its lakes. According to ancient legends, the lakes were created by an old man--also named Nagaq—who drove his staff into the ground and created holes from which water rose.

Monsters living in the area were trapped by the flood, and inhabit the lakes still. People who have seen Nagaq the dragon say that it is slate-colored, has a long neck and a flat snakelike head, and stands as tall as a palm tree.”
