Hag Overview
A hag, or "the Old Hag"... According to folklore, the Old Hag sat on a sleeper's chest and sent nightmares to him or her. When the subject awoke, he or she would be unable to breathe or even move for a short period of time... the subject had been "hagridden".[2] It is still frequently discussed as if it were a paranormal state.[3]
Many stories about hags seem to have been used to frighten children into being good. The...Peg Powler 
, for example, was a river hag who...had skin the colour of green pond scum.[4][5][6] Parents who wanted to keep their children away from the river's edge told them that if they got too close to the water she would pull them in with her long arms, drown them, and sometimes eat them. This type of nixie or neck has other regional names, such as Grindylow[7] (a name connected to Grendel),[7][8] Jenny Greenteeth ... and Nelly Longarms ...[9]
When hags must work together, they form covens, in spite of their selfish natures...
. While all three members of a hag coven are within 30 feet of one another, they can each cast...spells from the wizard's spell...share[ing] the spell slots among themselves...
