Bone Hag

[Back to creatures]

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.

Bone Hags do not stay in one stationary lair, but travel in a grizzly Bone Hut. They rove about the world, avoiding towns and luring unsuspecting travelers into their huts to be devoured.
