Actions

• Multiattack. The hag makes two Claw attacks.
• Claw. Melee Attack Roll: +7, reach 5 ft. 13 (2d8 + 4) Slashing damage.
• Spellcasting. The hag casts one of the following spells, requiring no Material components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 14): - **At Will:** Detect Magic, Etherealness, Magic Missile - **2/Day Each:** Phantasmal Killer, Plane Shift
• Nightmare Haunting (1/Day) (Requires Soul Bag). While on the Ethereal Plane, the hag casts Dream, using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting. Only the hag can serve as the spell's messenger, and the target must be a creature the hag can see on the Material Plane. The spell fails and is wasted if the target is under the effect of the Protection from Evil and Good spell or within a Magic Circle spell. If the target takes damage from the Dream spell, the target's Hit Point maximum decreases by an amount equal to that damage. If the spell kills the target, its soul is trapped in the hag's soul bag, and the target can't be raised from the dead until its soul is released. - **At Will:** - **1/Day Each:** Dream, Protection from Evil and Good, Magic Circle
