Lamia is a server in the American Primal Data Center. It is a reference to the race of enemy creature first seen in Final Fantasy II. In Greek mythology, the Lamia is a cursed queen who was described as having the lower half of a snake.

Lore

The people of this serpentine race appear as Hyur women from the waist up, and sinuous snakes from the waist down. It is now known that these creatures were born not of the gods, but of an unholy union between witches and beasts in ages past—an unholy union guided by the hands of mad Allagan scientists. Lamiae are capable of harboring massive quantities of aether within their bodies allowing for accelerated healing and potent spellweaving.
