Winter Hag

Winter hags are as icy in demeanor as their name implies. Devoid of any trace of mortal warmth, they see emotion as a weakness and despise displays of it in any form. They demand the same from their wards and thralls, for despite their avowed uncaring nature, winter hags still seek out companionship, beckoning those left bitter by the world or drawn to stark and frigid beauty. Magical alterations and the occasional punishment soon turn these unfortunates into perfect vassals for the winter hag's court. Some brave souls, however, claim winter hags can be swayed to mercy by music.

A winter hag is flawless and cruel in appearance, a statuesque woman who looks as though they were carved from ice and pure white snow.

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.
