Why is it that lamia are suddenly snake-women?
They are supposed to look like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Topsell-91.jpg

NOT JUST THAT @HonkyWhite
As for what I know, they are not even bound to a real figure ( what is the scource of our irritation-problem here ), they are merely describes as...
" a bloodsucking, demon like entity like a succubus, that primarily targets the blood of children! "
It really disturbs me as well, that 'Snake-people' earned such a secondhanded and unfitting name as well.
But hey-hey, 'Naga' means 'naked' in some other language that I forgot (with pleasure).
And sometimes artists of this country post 'nude'-pictures in the www and I could always enrage ^-^
when I see just, normal, nude people when searching for the more snake familiar Naga-pictures.

Well, there's more than that. Back in old D&D you had Lamia (body of a lion with a woman or man's torso instead of a lion head) and then eventually there were Greater Lamia, which were essentially Japanese style naga (serpent with a human upper bod instead of a snake head). The reason they're usually separated is that the Western naga had just a human head on the body of a snake, which isn't what people think of these days.
The more you know?
