Blood Hag

Blood hags, also known as soucouyants, infiltrate communities in the guise of young innocents. This disguise is more than an illusion, for a blood hag wears the skin of a previous victim to hide their true appearance. During the day, their disguise is almost perfect. But after sunset, the creature sheds their skin, hides it in a safe place, and stalks the night to drink the blood that sustains them.

Able to travel quickly in the form of a ball of fire and to slip through keyholes or the slightest crack in a door or window, blood hags feed on sleeping victims then return home before morning to don their stolen skin.

Hags are bizarre predators with uncertain origins, best known for targeting children and the young. To a one, they appear female, and they typically disguise themselves as mortal women in their day-to-day lives. Their powerful magic and manipulative tactics allow them to lure in the naive and vulnerable, exploiting their victims for their own sadistic purposes before kidnapping or devouring them. The typical hag is defined by a vain and controlling nature. Less malevolent hags may exist, but if so, they keep themselves well hidden to avoid the attentions of adventurers and their own abusive kin.
