Old Hags are a sapient creature archetype originating in British folklore.
Description[]
The term of Old Hag regroups all sorts of antagonistic ugly old women, some of whom are merely old witches or women while others are a distinct species, similar to ogres. In the latter case, hags are often described as cannibalistic, or at least child-eating.
