Well it's obviously a Lamia, because the main difference between a Naga and a Lamia is arms. Lamias always have arms, while Nagas are armless.
I'm SMRT!! :3

In terms of maybe DnD, but not in terms of Mythology. Mythologic naga were almost always portrayed with arms. Plus in Rokugan (fictional world of the Legend of the Five Rings), the Shinomen Naga have arms.

Actually, Nagas are from Vedic Indian mythology and folklore as well as from some Hindu and Buddhist holy scripture. They were a race of immortal (or thats what i've come to believe) beings whom, as you can see, were human from the waist up and serpent from the waist down. They had a high affinity to earth and water, in which they were often credited for being the keepers of the earth's waters. they were also shape-shifters, capable of taking full human or full serpent form (sometimes with multiple heads). Females nagas frequently became spouses to several historical rulers in India, supposedly.
The Lamia, however, was a Greek monster. She's similar to a vampire in some ways. According to the story, she was a woman who had an affair with Zeus and that ticked Hera off, so Hera took away her children, which in turn drove the woman mad and she eventually turned into a half-animal creature
(depicted as either a half-serpent, half-lion or half-goat), and began abducting and devouring children herself.
In modern pop-culture, Lamias and Nagas grow to be more related, often showing up in anime, comics, video games, and the likes, quite often as some form of magic-using snake-woman.
And thats all i can give ya without actually researching additional info on it.

Those ARE correct, but (my) most prefered religeons base is from Japan, where they are just a humanoid race concisting of almost all women. However, when it comes to being a lamia/Naga fan, the one issue is vore. I tend to disagree with vorists, they should be able to be as (or more) intellegent as humans, and eat as they want to, not just humans...
Β»Lamia fan Ftw...

I was implying "little boys [skeet sauce] going into his stomache".
Along with Sasuke's XD As a matter of fact, he just downright took Sasuke's
