Being very feared and mistrusted by ponies due to cultural misunderstandings, legends, and living very far away, most ponies run and scream when they see them in spite of them being economic allies of Equestria :P

They’re way more touchy-feely because of their biology. Like, it’s not uncommon at all for even perfect strangers to cuddle or snuggle or sleep together for warmth, so to them it’s just normal to coil around you and scoop you up for a hug even if they don’t even know you XD
They’re just big cuddle fiends :D
I like lamia, so knowing they’re friendly, not the worst thing.

The whole (and false) “they eat ponies” stereotype certainly doesn’t help :P
