      Okay first of I actually meant hags not witches in general. (There is apparently a difference)

      I found some weird ways of reproducing in DnD-hags, which I wanted to rework.
      They reproduce (among other things) by devouring an infant and then giving birth to it… Yes, classical DnD.

      I devised a method of hags coming to live in bogs as manifestations of people who died there.

      Parts of the souls then make up the character of the hag or become multiple hags with different personalities. Hence some hags may be friendly to strangers wanting to pass their bog unharmed and others try to “devour” them by killing them in their bog.

      (That is the gist of it)
