Hags are vile creatures that generally take the form of elderly humanoids. They are usually solitary, though at times three hags will come together to form a coven. Whether alone or in a coven, Hags seek to collect unsuspecting humanoids through a variety of means, often by using illusory magic of some kind or through brokering a deal by offering a beleaguered traveler respite in exchange for a favor. | Hags are vile creatures that generally take the form of elderly humanoids.
