description: The brilliant and powerful lamia matriarchs possess boundless ambition,
  always seeking to bring more people and territory into the clutches of their kind.
  Consequently, the become rulers of other lamia. For all their cruelty toward other
  creatures, they're fierce protectors of other lamia, and consequently they quickly
  come to rule cults or warbands. Regardless of the lamia's gender, these ascended
  lamias are always known as matriarchs. Rather than leonine limbs, a lamia matriarch's
  lower body is formed in the winding coils of a giant snake. They're also set apart
  by the occult power they pursue, and some have even have grand designs to break
  the animalistic curse that transformed them. However, every attempt so far has led
  to the matriarch's fall.

  description: The lamia matriarch can take on the appearance of a Medium humanoid.
    This doesn't change their Speed or their attack and damage modifiers with their
    Strikes, but it does prevent them from using their cursed touch. Each lamia matriarch
    has a fixed humanoid form—they cannot adopt a different appearance each time they
    use this ability, and the appearance resembles that of their upper torso when
    in their true form.
