About

Roaming the darkest woods is the forest hag. These monsters are birthed from a cursed womb. The Queen of Darkness or one of the other evil arch fey curses a child to become one with the decomposers of the forest.

Despoiler of the Forest. This hag wants the forest around her to become as rotten as she is. She lives on hallucinogenic mushrooms that continue to warp her mind.

Inner Rage. Deep inside the forest hag is a lost soul and that rage eats her alive. She enjoys tormenting others and bringing their downfall. Most of the inhabitants of the woods loathe her, but she is strong enough to survive on her own. Like some other hags, she can alter her appearance. This enables her to walk amongst other fey.
