Traits
Innate Spellcasting
The hag's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
- At will: detect magic, disguise self
- 3/day each: dream, hypnotic pattern, sleep (9d8)
- 1/day each: legend lore, scrying
Magic Resistance
The hag has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Actions
Multiattack
The hag makes two Nightmare Touch attacks.
Claws
Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) slashing damage.
Nightmare Touch
Melee Spell Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (4d6 + 4) psychic damage. If the target is unconscious, it takes an extra 10 (3d6) psychic damage and is cursed until the hag dies or the curse is removed. The cursed creature's hit point maximum decreases by 5 (1d10) whenever it finishes a long rest.
Reactions
Dream Eater
When an unconscious creature the hag can see within 30 feet of her regains consciousness, the hag can force the creature to make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. Unless the save succeeds, the creature takes 11 (2d10) psychic damage, and the hag regains hit points equal to the amount of damage taken.
Spells
detect magic, disguise self, dream, hypnotic pattern, sleep, legend lore, scrying

description
Dusk hags resemble gnarled crones with shriveled orange skin, tangled gray hair, and eyes that burn like hot coals. They see visions of the future in their dreams, and their dark magic allows them to influence the dreams of others, sending messages or inflicting nightmares with a touch. Tales talk of ambitious wizards, frantic monarchs, and desperate heroes undertaking quests or making bargains with a dusk hag in exchange for its prophecies and visions of the future. But the information gained from a dusk hag often has a way of causing more pain than joy. Like all hags, dusk hags enjoy causing strife to those who bargain with them, and find ways to twist and turn promises to their own advantage. The Dusk Hag Prophecies table provides examples of the sort of dreams dusk hags might share with unsuspecting sleepers.
