NEW HAos (IMPERMISSICON)

Hags are fey known for their malevolence more than

anything else, even beyond their penchants for alchemy,
magic, and eldritch powers. They adore deception and
destruction, and they sustain themselves by devouring
humanoids. Hags make twisted bargains that sabotage
their victims, and steal children away to consume or
even transform into new hags.

DEATH HAG
When a night hag gathers over a hundred twisted souls:"
she can transform into a more powerful kind of fiendish
hag known as a death hag. Death hags are much larger
than night hags, towering over other kinds of hags at ten
to eleven feet tall They have withered violet skin, fangs,
and pointed ears. Some have twisted horns like those of Undead AJ.1ies. Death hags are capable of seizing

 Hatred of Magic. Eldritch hags despise all non-psionic
magic, and this hatred influences their choice of victims.
Anyone with any magical power, talent, or learning is in
danger when an eldritch hag is near. She loves to make
spellcasters hurt, and she finds no child more delectable
than one with magical power.
While their hatred of magic causes eldritch hags to

Illithid Intrigue. Eldritch hags and illithids often find
reason to work together, but the two factions rarely trust
each other. The illithids use these Far Realm hags as a
mercenary to be employed against their more magical
enemies, and the hags use the illithids to gain access to
new victims and new sources of power.
When these arrangements fall apart, the eldritch hag
can seriously threaten even the more powerful colonies
of illithids. The hag's ability to reshape memories can be
