{{5e Ability|Innate Spellcasting|The hag's innate {{srd5lc|Spellcasting Ability}} is {{SRD5|Charisma}} (spell save {{SRD5|DC}} 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no matierial components:<br />
At will: ''{{srd5lc|Detect Magic}}, {{srd5lc|Magic Missile}}''<br />
2/day each: ''{{srd5lc|Plane Shift}}'' (self only), ''{{srd5lc|Ray of enfeeblement}}, {{srd5lc|Sleep}}''}}

{{5e Ability|Magic Resistance|The hag has {{srd5lc|Advantage}} on {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}s against spells and other magical effects.}}

|actions=
{{5e Ability|Claws|limit=Hag Form Only|''Melee Weapon Attack:'' +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. one target. ''Hit:'' 13 (2d8+4) {{srd5lc|Slashing}} damage.}}

{{5e Ability|Change Shape|The hag magically polymorphs into a {{SRD5|Small}} or {{SRD5|Medium}} female {{srd5lc|Humanoid}}, or back into her true form. Her statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment she is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. She reverts to her true form if she dies.}}

{{5e Ability|Etherealness|The hag magically enters the {{SRD5|Ethereal Plane}} from the {{SRD5|Material Plane}}, or vice versa. To do so, the hag must have a ''{{srd5lc|heartstone}}'' in her possession.}}

{{5e Ability|Nightmare Haunting|limit=1/Day|While on the Ethereal Plane, the hag magically touches a sleeping humanoid on the Material Plane. A ''{{srd5lc|Protection from Evil and Good}}'' spell cast on the target prevents this contact, as does a ''{{srd5lc|Magic Circle}}''. As long as the contact persists, the target has dreadful visions. If these visions last for at least 1 hour, the target gains no benefit from its {{srd5lc|Rest}}, and its {{srd5lc|Hit Point Maximum}} is reduced by 5 (1d10). If this effect reduces the target’s hit point maximum to 0, the target dies, and if the target was evil, its soul is trapped in the hag’s soul bag. The reduction to the target’s hit point maximum lasts until removed by the ''{{srd5lc|Greater Restoration}}'' spell or similar magic.}}
