Annis Hag

Article written by Uziel


Another Ogre sub-species that was brought into creation by Paladine's Curse, was the hags. These ogresses are descended from the ogress-magi Lurrhein. Lurrhein also attempted to protect herself against the curse, however the initial effects that the curse had on her, drove her insane. Lurrhein believed that ogre-kind should stop trying to expand their civilisation and dwell in peace, in order to reverse the effects of the curse. Takhisis was enraged and removed the protective magic that Lurrhein setup, to prevent her from being fully affected by the curse. She and her children were then cursed in a slightly different way, and their descendants became what we now know upon Krynn as the hags. They are more intelligent than normal ogres, and better versed in the arcane, however they are by no means anywhere near as powerful as the rare ogre-magi. The annis hags are seven to eight feet tall, physically powerful and covered in warty blue skin. They tend to live in swamps, bogs and caves.

Annis hags, like their fellow Sea Hag and green hag cousins, tend to dwell in either small groups, or on their own. They have no settlements or communities as such, and do not associate with any of their ogre-kin at all.
