Seeking a list of appearing Hags

In my attempt to compile a list of all hags in my post Here: Hags

I was told by W E Ray that Rezdave could assist me in this endeavor with a listing of hags as they appear in Dungeon Magazine.

I would formally like to ask for help with this and would greatly appreciate anything that anybody could tell me or any directions anyone can point me in. Thanks!


I have no comprehensive list at my fingertips, but there's a hag in "Tears for Twilight Hollow" (Dungeon 90). She doesn't play a starring role, though.

Edit: There are three hags in "Man Forever" (Dungeon 137). You'll get a lot more mileage out of it if you name them Talia, Ivy, and Harley (or maybe Selina), as the entire scenario is an homage to the Batman comics.

I have Man Forever. I rather like that one.

I just checked Rez's profile -- he's been off the Boards since late Feb. I'm sure when he gets back he'll post his list.

(I only remember a couple from 2E Dungeon issues.)

Pathfinder 29 Mother of Flies has a particular nasty hag in it. I will need to look through my Dungeon issues but I remember an issue 2nd Edition where there is covey of Hags that has taken over a town. can't remember the name right now want to say it was in the 80's but don't quote me on that.

This list is not comprehensive, but is simply a search for "hag" in the Description and Cool NPCs fields of my database (plus one that I remembered). There are probably more, which I'll add if I remember or stumble across them. Also, it only covers issues 31-150.

Some Hag Adventures:

Issue - Title - Description

054 - Dark Thane Macbeth - MacBeth retold with Grey Elves, Drow and Hags.

063 - Beauty Corrupt - Follow clues to the lair of three Sea Hags and marine ogre minions. Defeat them and restore the voice of a sirene and the sanity of a local diplomat.

075 - Non-Prophet Organization - A tinkerer begins having prophetic visions after the disappearance of his beloved. Is he receiving warnings from beyond the grave, or is some foul creature(s) merely laying an intricate plan to dupe the villagers.

104 - Demonskar Legacy, The - 4th installment of the Cauldron adventure path. A paladin has been tricked by hags working with a demon to turn Cauldron towards a war with neighboring Redgorge. Stop a riot, meet with the leaders of a secret faction, track the paladin into a jungle, through a monster lair and into the artifact mirror-maze of a lost civilization.

107 - Mellorn Hospitality - Every seven years the Mellorn Elves open their woodland borders to host Festival of Life, which is also a great trading opportunity. However, the festival merely cloaks the cyclic hunting of a night hag. Acting as caravan escorts, guard a merchant and put an end to the night hag and her minions, and possibly close the portal through which she appears for good.

119 - Tomb of Aknar Ratalla - Survive the traps of a modest tomb to find an angel and devil together guarding an outsider-bane major artifact sword once possessed by a tribal chieftain intent on wiping out religions. Now a half-fiend drives a band of gnolls and yugoloths to the tomb to recover the sword, so the party must defend the tomb they just entered lest the fell weapon fall into evil hands once more.

122 - Root of Evil - A Green Hag druid has made an agreement with Abyssal fiends to plant a seed on the Prime Material Plane which grows at a lightning rate, spewing demons and destroying cities.

129 - Twisted Run, The - A Chosen of Malar gathers a force of “blacktooth” lycanthropes, insane and poison-infected were-creatures capable of almost instantaneously passing along their affliction, and overtaken a dwarven outpost. Destroy the pack before their attacks spread to more populated regions and unleash an epidemic of lycanthropy.

HTH,

Rez

The Elfwhisper, also in issue 90 (level 8), has a more hag-focused adventure featuring some elven sisters who became hags after cursing one of their own with undeath.

Although Dungeon adventures, you may want to check out a treatise on hags (Including 'in universe' descriptions) in the 2e Ravenloft Van Richten's Monster Hunter's Compendium. It had some pretty good ideas/fluff on hags including aging hags (that become more powerful). 3e Ravenloft under Sword and Sorcery Studios updated some of the mechanics (including the aging tables in the Ravenloft Campaign Setting/Player's Handbook IIRC and some other hag stuff in the Ravenloft monster books). The darklords of Tempest were all hags, with them being described most fully in Ravenloft Gazeteer 5 (3e) and Darklords (2e).

On another note, there are several other Pathfinder resources you can go to for hag related creatures. You may want to check out Carrion Crown 1 (the Haunting of Harrowstone) in the Pathfinder adventure path series for another hag related creature- the changeling (a different one from the Eberron changeling, this is one is spawned from hags). Ultimate Magic also has a hag bloodline for sorcerors (the Accurssed bloodline). The witch class (from the APG) seems like a natural fit for hags and their ilk as well.

Edit: There's also a chapter on hags in Pathfinder Chronicles: Classic Horrors Revisited, including a sample advanced hag.
