Manata was a Snake Charmer and sorcerer that lived in a pit on the Baddu-Bak Plains.
Description[]
Manata was a thin, dark-skinned man typically found with a bamboo pipe, and had a hissing voice [1] He was not automatically hostile to visitors, and was eager to see if adventurers had any artefacts he can trade.[2]
He is particularly interested in borrinskin boots, for which he would trade information on the Seven Serpents. [3] Without these boots, Manata would not divulge information about the Seven Serpents and would instead become hostile. [4] Manata could also barter holy water from Daddu-Yadu in exchange for two items, but not gold or provisions.[5]
Manata lived in a pit north-west of Kharé.[6] His reputation was such that the Baklands horsemen would not go near him. [7]
Special Abilities[]
Manata's most obvious ability was his use of music to control his poisonous snakes. [8] These snakes could detect the Seven Serpents, learn their plans, and give the information to Manata. [9]
He was immune to the JIG spell as he himself was a magical musician, though he was vulnerable to the KID spell. [10] Manata's most powerful ability is to use his Bamboo Pipe to cast the BOA spell, a spell that allowed its caster to transform a target into a snake. It appeared that many of his snakes may have been transformed enemies.[11]
