nagini

Dark wizard's pet

A nagini is a female naga—a serpent deity or snake-human hybrid in Hindu and Buddhist mythology.

The term gained wider English recognition through the Harry Potter series, where Nagini is Voldemort's snake companion.

In South Asian folklore, naginis are often depicted as shape-shifters who can assume fully human female form.
