Hag bites kid

[Yqatuba]

So, we know a lot of hags like to eat people. For some reason I always imagined they would prefer eating children, especially little girls. Does it actually say this anywhere? I think it was like that in the original mythology.

Yes, hags I believe have Child Scent as an ability.

Read through the fluff or "ecology" of some hags. There are some of these creatures such as the Annis Hag where it states

Hag, Annis wrote:

Annis hags find the flesh of children, young animals, and the pure of heart particularly pleasing, both for the tenderness of such meals and for the sorrow such murders spread.

Also note that hags are the game equivalent modeled from creatures in fairy tales such as the witch in Hansel and Gretel or the crones from the Scottish play. Hags... such as the Annis for example, even appear in cultural folklore as evil beings that lure the unwary out of civilization to their doom in remote wilderness. Often in these stories, their victims are children.

I checked and it's actually witches that get child scent as a possible ability. The implication is it's so they can find and eat kids, although I could see a good witch using it for good purposes (such as finding a lost kid in the woods.)

Om nom nom.

I mean... I thought that was half of the point of changlings?

Why exchange babies if you aren't going to eat the stolen baby?

[Yqatuba]

So why do they prefer to eat kids? My guess is they are more tender. And girls have more body fat so probably more flavorful.. I just grossed myself out.

Kids are easier to scare.

And it is the fear that brings out the taste.

Payout reduced to 600k gold. Hag counter sued due to complaints that the kid's flesh gave her a stomach ache. Jury found kid partially at fault for false advertising of deliciousness.

With the church of Abadar I can sadly see this actually play out.

I mean, who doesn't like veal? Kids are just human veal. Bonus points if you raise them in isolation like actual veal, those lonely tears are the best flavoring.
