Naja (Maria Montez) is the main antagonist of the 1944 adventure drama film Cobra Woman. She is the high priestess of Cobra Island, and the twin sister of Tollea, who was to be the rightful ruler.
Naja demands that the inhabitants of the island bring her gold, and, finding the amount insufficient, sacrifices them by the hundreds by sending them to a fiery death in a volcano named Fire Mountain. Though he is a complete stranger, she also immediately and eagerly reciprocates the affections of Ramu, the story's hero, who initially mistakes her for Tollea.
When her sibling arrives to take back the Cobra Jewel, a symbol of her royal destiny, Naja attempts to murder her, but in doing so, ends up falling backwards out of a high story window to her death.
