Night hags are purveyors of souls who revel in the grief they cause.1

Appearance

Night hags resemble cruel, horned versions of most humanoid species. They measure from 3 to 8 feet tall and weigh between 100 and 400 pounds.1

Ecology

Night hags target mentally vulnerable mortals, first toying with victims by haunting their dreams night after night. When their prey dies, the night hag traps their soul within her heartstone, then transfers it into an object that could then be sold on soul markets in the Lower Planes. Each night hag's heartstone is fundamentally linked to its creator and grants her additional powers. It ceases to function 24 hours after it is separated from the night hag or the hag dies.1
