Some monster archetypes reoccur across cultures. Dragons, giants, animal shapeshifters, the restless spirits of the dead, and - mean old ladies? A hag is a female humanoid supernatural being, but the farthest thing from a Cute Monster Girl. Hags are ugly, frightening-looking, or elderly, and usually all three. They have some sort of inhuman powers, often magical in nature, and often monstrous physical features as well. Just how monstrous they are varies, however - ranging from "Ambiguously Human witch who is more powerful, longer-lived, and uglier than anyone else in the setting" to blatant Monstrous Humanoids. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Most hags are evil or hostile, but some of them can be Creepy Good, or at least helpful when treated with respect. Mythical and folkloric examples like Baba Yaga may be subject to Alternative Character Interpretation. Evil hags are often Child Eaters. Frequently members of a Witch Species, and often overlap with Wicked Witch or Fair Folk. Contrast Hot Witch and Cute Monster Girl. Examples: |

The girl is possessed, and Auntie Whispers uses the bell to keep the evil spirit under control. | |

Grimm has the Hexenbiest, a magically powerful species of Wesen inspired by fairy-tale witches. Hexenbiest in human form are normal-looking and even beautiful women, but their Game Face is disturbingly corpse-like. | |

Harry Potter: Hags are a species of magical beings described as resembling ugly old witches with numerous warts and having a taste for the flesh of human children. In-universe, they're the inspiration for the stereotypical Wicked Witches of Muggle literature like Hansel and Gretel. | |

The Heartsbane Coven in World of Warcraft is made up of three distinct types of witches. They start out as regular human women practicing witchcraft, but as they grow more powerful, they take on a grotesque appearance like the Wicked Witch of the West or Baba Yaga. The most powerful of them slit their own throats and ascend to the powerful Matron form, which are essentially floating corpses. | |

The Sea Hag in Popeye. It's in her name, although the "inhuman" part is downplayed. Mostly she's just portrayed as a very powerful Wicked Witch, although she is unnaturally old. | |

Pathfinder: Hags are family of humanoids inspired by monstrous folkloric witches. They're all female, and always hideous and twisted caricatures of old women. Numerous types exist, including sea hags (aquatic hags inspired by Ursula), ferocious and physically powerful annis hags with iron claws, horned and soul-stealing night hags, and the like. Some in-universe scholars believe them to have been exiled from the world of the fey, while others consider them to be embodiments of mortals' fear of aging. They reproduce with male humanoids, producing children known as changelings who resemble regular members of their fathers' species but who feel a constant call to become twisted, hateful hags like their mothers. They can pool their resources to form covens of three, which grant them greater magical power than they'd have alone, which can include either hags or regular humanoid witches. Graeae, inspired by the three sisters from Greek myth, believed to be physical manifestations of fate. They're even more physically hideous than hags, being hunched, wasted, almost toothless, and provided of a single that they clutch in their clawlike hands. They also form covens, which can include hags as well. Stygiras are cave-dwelling crones with a magical affinity for gems and the ability to turn people to stone. |

Hags are a whole family of monsters in Dungeons & Dragons, inspired by folkloric monsters and Wicked Witches. There are several kinds of hags, all One Gender Races and all very unpleasant. Groups of hags have the ability to form "covens," which gives them access to improved magical abilities. | |

Some Pokémon take inspiration from hags in folklore - Jynx from the Yama-uba and the Hatenna line from fairy-tale witches - although the cute art style keeps them from being straight examples themselves. | |

The Chronicles of Narnia: The hags in the books are described as having the general form of old women. They have shrill whining voices and protruding noses, and also have gray hair that is seldom clean. They have a well known reputation for their magical powers and capacity for hatred, and are also very skilled at flattery. The film adaptations take it a step further by having the hags have featherless bird-like heads and talon-like claws for fingernails. | |

Baba Yaga herself. Old, hideous, magically powerful, and certainly not entirely human. (Apart from her great age and supernatural powers, there's the iron teeth.) | |

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: Grave hags and Water hags are a subspecies of humanoid monsters that take up habitation near cemeteries or wetlands, and resemble a roughly six foot tall old woman with incredibly pale skin and very long claws. Respectively, they have a tendency to use their long tongues or throw mud to stun and/or blind their prey before eviscerating them with their claws, though grave hags prefer to consume the dead before trying to take down a living human. The Crones are bit more of a straightforward example of this, being a trio of grotesque witches, said to be the third aspect of the goddess Melitele, with a fondness for consuming children as payment for their continued patronage over the harvest of the nearby village. The first time they're encountered in the game, Geralt is tasked with destroying the Spirit of the Woods in order to get the information they have about Ciri's whereabouts; whether Geralt goes through with it or not will only determine the fate of the children that are already at their cottage, and the old woman serving the Crones. The second time they're encountered, in spite of their magical prowess that even Geralt was a little wary of, Ciri easily cuts down two of them thanks to her Elder blood abilities. |
