Innate Spellcasting.
The hag's innate spellcasting ability is intelligence(spell save DC 17, +7 to hit with spell attacks).

Foreign telepathy
. The Shadowfell Hag cannot verbally communicate; a Shadowfell Hag can create a 2-way telepathic link between herself and any living creature she can see. This link breaks if the Shadowfell Hag cannot see the creature she is communicating with.
Magic Resistance
. The hag has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Ghastly Visage
. Any humanoid that starts its turn within 30 feet of the hag and can see the hag's true form must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is paralysed for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the hag is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. Unless the target is surprised or the revelation of the hag's true form is sudden, the target can avert its eyes and avoid making the initial saving throw. Until the start of its next turn, a creature that averts its eyes has disadvantage on attack rolls against the hag. A Shadowfell Hag's apperance cannot be altered in such a way to hide their true nature; if a Shadowfell Hag alters or has its apperance altered, they still appear as a hag. When a humanoid views the Shadowfell Hag's altered appearance, they must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is feared for 1 minute, and can repeat the save on their following turns to end the effect. On a successful saving throw, the humanoid is not feared. A creature that has been feared in this way cannot be feared again for the next 24 hours.
CONTRACTS.
when a contract is made all players who agree to the contract are magically bound to the contract.
the hag knows the following information about creatures who are bound by a contract:
there location at all times while on the material plane or in the Shadowfell
has a general idea of what the creature is doing at all times.
contract breaking (limited)
. these contracts are ones that are fairly mundane that are built more as a defence mechanism then a real contract. the hag chooses the method and how the creature agrees to the contract ie it could be walking in the door, taping a table three times, shaking there hand.
the main rule is that limited contracts must be fulfilled withing 60ft of the hag, otherwise the contract is moderate or extreem.
when this contract is broken the hag gains the ability to trigger shadow quake on all targets in the area.
Shadow quake.
when a limited contract is broken, all players are pushed 30ft away from the hag, all players in a 30ft radius are knocked prone and make a wisdom saving throw. all players make a wisdom saving throw or believe a swarm of beetles are wrapped around them holding them to the ground. They are considered grappled and feared. all players who broke a contract auto fail this save
Contract breaking (extream)
the magical bond that is made when you sign a contract with a shadow hag should never be taken lightly. every day after the contract is broken additional stacking effects happen until the creature who breaks the contract goes to the shadowfell hag to deal with the situation.
1 day after contract is broken:
the hag is able to wisper into there mind
whenever the creature has a moment to themselves to reflect they cant help but hear skittering noises (of thousands of beetles)
on a long rest the DM rolls a 1d4, on a 2 or a 4 the creature cant sleep and doesnt benefit from a long rest. there dreams were full of beetles crawliing and chewing all over them
2 days after contract is broken
the shadowfell hag gains the ability to manipulate tiny creatures all around the creature. the hag starts to pull all creatures of size tiny withing a 20ft radius around the contract breaker towards them. these creatures will continue to follow the contract breaker around. to determine how many, every day roll a d20, that is how many more creatures follow
the shadowfell hag's wispers are becoming more madining, making the creature have disadvantage on wisdom saving throws.
whenever the creature rolls a 3 or lower on any d20 roll they loose there turn as they loose themselves to the sound of beetles crawling.
day 3:
the contract breakers eyes blacken as they constantly hear maddining wispers and the crawling of beetles. There intelligence score is reduced by 2 every day after this point.
every day after this point the contract breaker shrinks half a foot
the contract breaker also starts to slowly change into a creature that the hag would find useful. ie every day starting to grow feathers out of there skin (crow), there skin is hardening and blackening(beetle), there back is slowly growing wings (locust)
day 4:
on the d4 roll the player now looses there turn on a 2 or a 4
half movement
day 5:
the contract breaker no longer benefits from long or short rests
loose action
looses the ability to read or focus on anything for an extented period of time. as whenever they focus they see swarms of beetles (or other creatures) covering what they are focusing on (this means that for wizards they cant change there spells)
day 6:
the hag may choose at any time to dominate the contract breaker for 1 round/combat encounter. if you want to make it random roll d6 on a 6 you get dominated
day 7:
the contract breaker now has lost themselves and can only mutter a single phrase (up to dm)
day 8:
they bug (or other creature)
Actions
Multiattack
. the hag may make 3 claw attacks on its turn as an action
Death Glare
. The hag targets one frightened or paralysed creature she can see within 30ft. of her. If the target can see the hag, it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or drop to 0 hit points. The Shadowfell Hag recovers half the HP reduced on the target.
Claws
. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage + 2d6+4 necrotic damage.
call the swarm (3/day)
. summon 1d6 swarms of creatures that the hag collects. the swarm stat block is the same as swarm of scarabs but all damage is necrotic.
if it is a creature that flys the swarm has a fly speed of 30ft
if it is a water creature it has a swim speed of 30ft
base speed is 30ft
Bonus Actions
Write adaptive contract: choose one of the Adaptive contracts to activate. only one may be active per round.
Adaptive contracts
reverse movement
. the hag signs a contract and reverses the players perception of movement. all players in the initiative must make a wisdom save or will see the hag on the opposites side of where they really are. so if the hag is 5ft infront of a player, the player will think that the hag is 5ft behind them
healing/damage reverse
. until the start of the hags next turn all healing deals damage and all damage heals the targets. there is no indicator for this. from the players perspective the hag signs some parchment and then cackles
Weive loop contract (2 round cooldown).
the hag signs a contract and sticks it to a creature within 5ft of it. that creature's magical connection to the weave is temporarily sent into a feedback loop building up energy for a round. on the creatures turn on that round (ie it would be the second round after the contract was attached) they explode with arcane energy. all creatures within 30ft of that creature (including the creature who explodes) need to make a dexterity save or take 6d8 force damage. on a successful save it is half damage. the creature that explodes also cant cast spells until there next turn.
