Made notable by some of their other names: Jenny Greenteeth, Peg Powler, and Nelly Longarms, these are among the largest and most diverse types of hags. At first they were centered around the British Isles, Britain mainly, but soon spread along with English colonialism like many other fairies. Come in two varieties: Water Hags and Tree Hags. Water hags employ the tried and true method of hanging around ponds and still-moving lakes, covered in algae and waiting for something to disturb the surface. They're larger and less human-like. Tree hags are rarer, but also more successful in catching prey, as they hang around tangled bushes and trees. These hags are easy to distinguish by their habitat, living in swamps and thickets, building huge nests in the canopies, climbing up trees with their nimble bird-like feet. Their hunting strategies depend on the subspecies, some like to croon from the trees, some like to wait at river banks, some even build enormous houses out of materials left around to lure children in. But the drawback to all this is that they're the lousiest with glamour, often resorting to hiding their bodies entirely or watching people to mimic their actions.

[UPDATE: 8/31/2018] Finally using that old sketch. Instead of showing the old bird, the more famous Greenteeth or Powler is shown. These are, in my opinion, cooler, like a fairy snapping turtle, but instead of a bear trap mouth they have super strong arms. Also I got tonsillitis over the week, and this is the last of my stock-piled drawings. Might need to go on a short break, depending on how I feel later.
