Mere hags, which live in meres, or bodies of still water, are often-vengeful creatures which eat human flesh. Although they resemble pale or bluish-skinned humanoids from the waist up, their bottom half is a writhing mass of sinuous, fanged, eels.
Statistics: Mere Hags are 7-Hit Die medium-size Fey, of Chaotic and Evil alignment. They are, like all hags, surprisingly strong, and possess magic as a 3rd-level Druid. In combat, their eel appendages swarm foes within 5 feet of them, inflicting many terrible bite wounds. They can swim at great speed, and can make their way slowly on land, but in a disturbing fashion, slithering their eels back and forth. They possess the Horrific Appearance and Death Glare abilities common to a Sea Hag. How you can use a Mere Hag in your game: - Like all Hags, Mere Hags can grant bargains, and sometimes keep them. If there are no spellcasters nearby, sometimes one must turn to the only being which can help them... a Hag. Mere Hags are fond of asking their bargainers to slay another person in the vicinity after leading them to the Hag's water, and promise that they will rid their petitioner of any evidence. - A Mere Hag might have legitimate grievance against a nearby town, especially if they are allowing runoff from nearby industry to foul the Hag's water. Such a Hag might petition druids or other nature-serving folk to aid her in her vengeance. - A Mere Hag might have once been the child stolen away from a mother due to making a bargain. A child or even young adult might go in search of their long-lost baby sister, unaware that she has become a Mere Hag. Depending on how things go, they might be her latest victim, or they might strike up a lasting friendship. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 8 February 2020. Comments are closed.
