Ecology

Sand Hag is a magical creature outside the normal ecological taxonomy — too constructed to be a beast, too natural to be an aberration. It is most often found in desert regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Sand Hag is territorial and aggressive; rarely capable of negotiation in any meaningful way. Its Chaotic Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.

Origin

Sand Hag is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
