Hag
Inspired by the The Monster Overhaul night hag and the witch found in the Deep Carbon Observatory.
Curse-brewing, children-eating crones. Hideous inside and out. Misery aesthete. Bounces between vulgar taunts and sweet grandmother. Sometimes seen with flocks of birds. A fay.
Have you ever shielded your broken heart with a cocoon of bitterness? This distorted hunched woman wrapped in dark shawls embodies that. It corrupts souls.
