So what i want to do is take away the green hag's spell like abilities and replace it with 6 effective levels of witch. the hag will have a familiar of a 6th level witch and will only have two hexes: evil eye and cauldren. the hag depending on how the CR is adjusted will take levels in the witch class to get it to the CR that i want for a type of early teen boss.
and second the only real spell like ability i want to give the hag is an at will polymorph.
so i was thinking with the hag being a 9 hd monstrous humaniod i would make its CR be around 10 or 11. is that close to its power lv??

Marai (9HD Outsider, Sorcerer 5) CR 8
Tataka (18HD Outsider, Sorcerer 12) CR 15
After looking at the options out there, I think you are making the CR too high.
I think a good option for you would be use the Lamia Matriarch. It can already shapechange (have one crone form and one monster form), use spells (swap out sorcerer 6 for Witch 6), and is a monstrous humanoid. It is listed at CR 8 and 12 HD in the Bestiary 2.

i completely forgot about naga's having effective sorcerer levels. i was mostly using the raksasha as a baseline because i thought the overall abilities where gonna be close to what i was wanting. i plan on keeping the hd at 9 and then i wanna add more levels of witch to bring the cr to around 12. so if i add 4 or 5 levels of witch i think that might get me there. at first i was more worried about under rating its cr. but i definately dont want to put it to high.
