In the Black Serpent's description, it says "The black serpent is the serpent form of the lamia."

Since Lamia is the name of a unit, I think it should be capitalized.

Lamia is the name of the monster, but when used within a sentence instead of at the beginning, it is not capitalized. Just like you don't capitalize animal names like bear, tiger, wolf, badger etc inside a sentence.

Only proper names and titles are capitalized, as well as military ranks when referring to a specific individual (e.g. Captain So-and-so).
