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.
GREEN HAG
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 Tragedy. Green hags revel in
the failings and tragedies of other creatures. They
derive jby from bringing people low and seeing hope
turn into despair, not just for individuals but also for
whole nations.
Covens. A green hag that is part of a coven (see
the "Hag Covens" sidebar) has a challenge rating of
5 (1,800 XP).

Mimicry. The hag can mimic animal sounds and humanoid
Medium fey, neutral evil voices. A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are
imitations with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) cheok.

physical evidence of her passage, so she can be tracked only by
magic. Any equipment she wears or carries is invisible with her.
