Shrieking hag

Howling hags were hags known to exist after the Spellplague, witches whose wails could destroy the area around them.

Abilities
Like other hags, howling hags could polymorph into the form of an elderly woman of a humanoid race of comparable size. Their unique power befit their namesake&mdash; powerful, magical howls and shrieks that blasted back their foes with thunderous force. They had an aura of menacing whispers around them that could psychically hurt others and were also capable of short-range teleportation.

Combat
The primary means with which howling hags fought were their screams, staying at range and unleashing the most powerful shouts they could muster. They typically fought with quarterstaves and teleported away if cornered.

History
In 1479 DR, some howling hags were allied with the Cult of Voldini. When members of that cult stole a translated copy of the legendary Tome of Twilight Boughs from the estate of the wizard Aldaron, a howling hag was among the fey allies they summoned to cover up any loose ends as they made their escape.

Around that same time, they could be found near Citadel Umbra on the island of Gwynneth.
