Category:Hagspawn

Hagspawn are monstrous humanoid males created when a hag falls pregnant and gives birth to a son, rather than a daughter. They inherit none of their mother's innate magical prowess, but instead are invariably tall, tough and strong, but also frequently cursed with hideous features. Typically abused by their mothers and shunned by humans, they tend to hate humankind and often fall in with other racial outcasts, such as half-orcs, half-ogres, tieflings or gnolls.

They debuted in the Forgotten Realms setting and have not been mentioned to exist in the Demiplane of Dread by any canon sources. Calibans, especially of the Brute or Witchspawn variety, would be a natural "native equivalent" to Hagspawn.

The hag simply sat in her chair of woven bones at the far end of the room, smoking her pipe and staring at the fire, seemingly unconcerned that we had just smashed in the door to her cottage. The ring of drawn swords seemed to bother her not at all.

"Where is Aryana, witch?" shouted Sir Landrick. "Tell us now and perhaps we shall let you live!"

The crone chuckled at this. "Little one," she called, exhaling a long stream of smoke. "Come and get rid of this rabble for mother, won't you?"

From the darkness of the back room stepped a hulking brute, its skin a lesser shade of blue than the hag's. Its skin was hairy and wart-pocked, its arms long and gangly, its position hunched, its hair lank and greasy, and its eyes red with malice. It draw a cracked and blackened sword from somewhere behind the door frame, and then it spoke.

"Yes, maw-maw."

And then it was among us.
