[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.

Bog Hag

Bog Hags traditionally live in forests and swamps, though they may be found in other environments. They are known to trick desperate creatures into making deals that leave the unsuspecting creature tormented for years afterwards.
