b'Hag, Snow \n'b'  Family:   Hags  \n'b' Wrapped up against the cold in thick furs and a head scarf, this ugly old crone has a hooked nose, blue-tinged skin and long, clawed fingers. She trudges through the snow, leaning heavily on a gnarled staff. \n'b'  Medium   fey ,  neutral evil  \n'b'  Armor Class  17 (natural armor)  Hit Points  82 (11d8 + 33)  Speed  30 ft.\n'b' STATS STR: 16 (+3) DEX:  12 (+1)  CON:  16 (+3)  INT:  13 (+1)  WIS:  14 (+2)  CHA:  16 (+3)  \n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'     Skills   Arcana  +3,  Deception  +5,  Survival  +4  Damage Vulnerabilities  fire  Damage Immunities  cold  Senses   darkvision  60 ft., passive  Perception  12  Languages  Common, Giant, Sylvan  Challenge  3 (700 XP) \n'b' Special Traits \n'b'   Ice Walk . The snow  hag  can move across icy surfaces without needing to make an ability check. Additionally,  difficult terrain  composed of ice or snow doesn\xe2\x80\x99t cost it extra moment. \n'b'  Illusory Appearance . The  hag  covers herself and anything she is wearing or carrying with a magical illusion that makes her look like another creature of her general size and humanoid shape. The illusion ends if the  hag  takes a  bonus action  to end it or if she dies. The changes wrought by this effect fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, the  hag  could appear to have  human  hands, but someone touching them would feel her sharp claws. Otherwise, a creature must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a DC 20  Intelligence  ( Investigation ) check to discern that the  hag  is disguised. \n'b'  Innate Spellcasting . The snow  hag\xe2\x80\x99s  spellcasting ability is  Charisma  (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). The snow  hag  can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: \n'b'   At will :  minor illusion ,  prestidigitation ,  ray of frost  \n'b'  1/day each :  charm person ,  fog cloud ,  sleet storm  \n'b'   Actions \n'b'   Claws .  Melee Weapon Attack : +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 12 (2d8 + 3) slashing damage. \n'b'  Icy Embrace (Recharge 5-6) . The snow  hag  exhales a cloud of freezing fog in a 15-foot-radius around her. Each creature in that area must make a DC 13  Constitution  saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 21 (6d6) cold damage and is  restrained  by ice for 1 minute. On a success, a target takes half the damage and isn\xe2\x80\x99t  restrained . A  restrained  target can make a DC 13  Strength  check, shattering the ice on a success. The ice can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10;  hp  5;  vulnerability  to fire and bludgeoning damage; immunity to slashing, cold, poison, and psychic damage). \n'b'  About \n'b' Snow hags live in the cold lands of the far north, making their homes in wooden cottages amidst the trees of the taiga or in remote mountainside caves. \n'b'  Evil Whispers . Snow hags enjoy posing as kindly wise women, selling herbal remedies and lucky charms. \n'b' These remedies will work at first, but their efficacy soon fades, prompting the buyer to ask for something more permanent. The  hag  is only too willing to help but will ask for a favor in return. This might involve spreading gossip about another villager or playing a \xe2\x80\x9charmless\xe2\x80\x9d prank on a neighbor. Slowly but surely, things escalate until everyone in the village is at each other\xe2\x80\x99s throats, much to the  hag\xe2\x80\x99s  delight. \n'b'  Exiled for Ugliness . The first snow hags were daughters of the Snow Queen, fathered by a  hill giant  lover she denies ever knowing. Appalled by their ugliness, the Snow Queen threw her offspring into the frozen wastes where they live to this day. \n'b'  Mothers of Beauty . Snow hags reproduce by stealing  human  infants and eating them. A year and a day after consuming the infant, the  hag  gives birth to a beautiful  ice maiden . The magical kiss of an  ice maiden  freezes the heart of a mortal, putting it under her spell, but this magic can be broken by the kiss of the victim\xe2\x80\x99s true love. If an  ice maiden  loses seven lovers in this way, she transforms into a snow  hag .'
