Nathairs are small, serpent-like creatures that inhabit the Mountains of Asgorath. Though normally harmless, their bites can cause pain beyond all imagining not only in the victim's physical body, but in their very soul.
History
After Arthur escaped the Second Fall of Camelot, Morgana enchanted a Nathair to force Elyan to reveal Arthur's whereabouts. The Nathair bit Elyan several times, torturing him to the limit of human endurance; he was nearly catatonic when he was later returned to his cell (The Sword in the Stone).
Morgana attempted to use a Nathair to force Alator to reveal Emrys' true identity. As a member of the Catha, Alator had been trained from birth to resist physical torture and Morgana hoped that the Nathair's ability to cause pain in its victim's very soul would prove more effective. However, Alator managed to resist its effects and told her nothing (The Kindness of Strangers).
After the Battle of Camlann, Morgana captured Gwaine and Percival when they tried to ambush her and her remaining men and used a Nathair to torture Gwaine into revealing Arthur's whereabouts. Gwaine later died from his injuries (The Diamond of the Day).
