Some humanoids make the mistake of thinking that
the hags' rules of conduct apply to all creatures. When
confronted by such an individual, a hag might find it
amusing to string the fool along for a while before
teaching it a permanent lesson.
Dark Lairs. Hags dwell in dark and twisted
woods, bleak moors, storm-lashed seacoasts,
and gloomy swamps. In time, the landscape
around a hag's lair reflects the creature's
noxiousness, such that the land itself can
attack and kill trespassers. Trees twisted by
darkness attack passersby, while vines snake
through the undergrowth to snare and drag off
creatures one at a time. Foul stinking fogs turn
the air to poison, and conceal pools of quicksand and
sinkholes that consume unwary wanderers.

The wretched and hateful green hags dwell in dying
forests, lonely swamps, and misty moors, making
their homes in caves. Green hags love to manipulate
other creatures into doing their bidding, masking their
intentions behind layers of deception. They lure victims
to them by mimicking voices calling out for help, or
drive unwanted visitors away by imitating the cries of
fierce beasts.
Obsession with T r a ged . Green hags revel in
y
the failings and tragedies of other creatures. They
derive joy from bringing people low and seeing hope
turn into despair, not just for individuals but also for
whole nations.

the "Hag Covens" sidebar) has a challenge rating of
5 (1,800 XP).
