|san1=Ethereal Glide ([[Su]])
|sad1=As a swift action, once every 3 rounds, a Night Hag and her mount (if any) can become [[SRD:Etherealness|ethereal]] for 1 round. She gains a fly speed of 60 ft (average) during this round. If she enters the same space as a material creature, she can use her Haunt Dreams ability.

|san2=Change Shape ([[Su]])
|sad2=A night hag can assume the form of any Small or Medium female humanoid.

|san5=Haunt Dreams ([[Su]])
|sad5=If a night hag enters the same space as a creature when she is ethereal and the creature is not, she can cause the creature to enter an extremely vivid nightmare for 3 rounds. The creature must make a Will Save DC 22 or else fall into a deep sleep state where the nightmare begins. This ability is a free action, but she can only use it once against an individual creature each round (but as many creatures as she can pass through).

A creature that is brought into the nightmare world must defeat 3 nightmare monsters to escape. See below for more details.

A creature that escapes the nightmare world is immune to Haunt Dreams for the rest of the day.

|san6=Continue the Nightmare ([[Su]])
|sad6=As a standard action when a creature is in a nightmare and the hag is ethereal, she can force the creature to make a Will Save DC 22 or revive nightmare monsters the creature has slain, bringing the count up to 3 again.

|san7=Dreamscape ([[Su]])
|sad7=As a swift action, a night hag can create special terrain features inside the nightmare worlds of each creature she has forced into a nightmare. She can choose one of the following options to occupy an area that is not already difficult terrain. Each of these terrain features count as difficult terrain.

'''Sprouting Hands:''' A bunch of hands burst from the ground in a 5 ft. square, forcing any dreaming creature in that square to make a Reflex Save DC 22 or else be [[Immobilized (3.5e Condition)|Immobilized]] for 1 round. The hands remain there indefinitely and will continue trying to grab creatures that enter the square (immediately ending movement on a failed save).

'''Energy Cords:''' A massive white flower grows and suddenly hundreds of thin, long cords of energy whip out attempting to grab anything they can. The flower must be placed in an unoccupied 10 ft. square area and every dreaming creature within 30 ft. must make a Will save DC 22 or else have the cords wrap around their body and [[SRD:Entangled|entangle]] them for 1 round. A strong willpower deters the cords from even coming close. The flower will attempt to entangle creatures every round in this way.

|san8=Disease ([[Ex]])
|sad8=A bite from a night hag forces a character to make a Fortitude save DC 22 or else contract [[Better Disease Implementation (3.5e Variant Rule)#Demon Fever|Demon Fever]].

}}

A night hag stands between five and seven feet tall. She has ugly features, black skin, and burning red eyes. Many night hags have horns of some sort. Their hands end in impossibly long fingers with sharp talons. The body of a night hag appears to be skeletally thin; however, they possess a great strength fueled by the hatred of all beautiful things.
