Editing Hag

{{Worldbuilders}} A '''Hag''' is a creature born of 'weird magic' that is still not properly understood in the realm. Hags often (but not always) resemble elderly women, and prey on the most needy. Like Devils, Hags are prone to making deals or bargains with travelers, but unlike Devils, Hags do not tend to have loopholes or rules that they lawfully abide by. A Hag may change the rules of a bargain or deal just to entertain themselves with the helpless reactions of those involved.  

== Types ==

=== Sea Hag ===
Sea Hags have been known to envy the [[Fey]], and have a history of spreading diseases that eat away at their natural beauty, distorting their features and leaving them scarred and ugly, transferring all of that magical charm into the hags themselves, who become beautiful.

Sea Hags will ALWAYS accept a child as payment.

=== Night Hag ===

=== Green Hag ===

== Weird Magic ==
A grandmother or some other hag of great age and renown might know unique rituals that can temporarily or permanently alter or transform a creature, bring back the dead for a limited time, rewrite memories, or siphonemotions. At the other end of the spectrum, even a hag without lofty status is likely to have strange, single-use items that don't emulate common spells or even follow the normal rules of magic. 

A hag carefully shepherds her use of weird magic because the items in her repertoire are often impossible to duplicate or replace. 

== Notable Hags ==

*'''Malagard,''' also called "The Hag Countess", former ruler of [[Malbolge]]
*'''Granny Mathilda and Auntie Agnes Greenteeth''', and '''Rickety Peggy''', the hags that brokered [[Drake's Deal]] and caused a small genocide of elven refugees at sea.
* '''Zilla''', a hag who preyed on the success of others, and turned [[Ynnis Valenford Sexton|the elf noble Ynnis Valenford]] into a Goblin.
