This creature is a large and muscular naga, with a scaled and serpentine upper portion complete with arms and a well defined torso, neck, and head as well as a cobra like hood. When "standing" in a relaxed posture he's eight feet tall from the ground to the top of his head. His coloration is all a mixture of gray, red, and black, with the darker color acting as a base while the gray highlights his front and belly scales as well as the claws at the ends of his fingers while his dimly glowing eyes hold a crimson hue. From the waist down his long tail extends, easily large enough to coil up several creatures or even to hold a man sized meal within and hardly show a bulge. His male parts are usually hidden away in an otherwise invisible closed slit just below his waistline, so there's no real indecency despite the fact that he slithers around without clothing.
Malkateth is an ancient guardian spirit who once watched over a small village far away from the park. In times long past the villagers would honor him with gifts and sacrifices of livestock while he in turn provided them with knowledge and protection from the dangerous beasts that roamed the countryside. He wasn't quite a god to them, but he was close to it. However as the years passed new religions grew in popularity, religions that labeled many of the old guardian spirits as demons and slandered them as having malefic intentions. It took a long while, but eventually the newer generations began to shun the great snake and grew to fear him despite his kindness. In turn he soon left them to their own devices in favor of traveling the realms. He's settled here in the park, hoping to have come to a place where he might be accepted.
Despite what some may call a sinister appearance he is a peaceful being and has disdain for combat and cruelty. As a spirit he does have some magic but seldom uses it for any sort of violent or destructive purposes. Here in the Nexus Park he seeks only friends and companionship... and the occasional meal. While he has no true need of food the act of eating does bring him pleasure and he prefers live meals. Not one to hunt down sentient beings, he only accepts willing sacrifices, and as a guardian and healer he seldom actually digests his meals. In a pinch he will do so, but he preserves their consciousness within him in a peaceful, restful state until they are ready to return to the living.
His current residence is in a pocket dimension created just to be a safe haven, one he can access and leave at will through a portal gate contained in his home, making his dwelling very secure from unwanted guests. His home consists of a single large circular stone room dominated by soft clean bedding, chairs, couches, and pillows laid across it. It also contains four crystal balls hanging from chains on the domed ceiling; scrying devices set up to allow those familiar with magic to sit back and watch various events going on throughout the realms - or just television and radio programs. Lining the walls of the chamber are various doorways leading to private rooms both for standard functions such as the kitchen and the bathroom and for private use such as bedrooms for permanent residents and guests, as well as the master bedroom.
