haglike
Resembling an crone
Haglike means resembling a hag—an ugly, frightening old woman, often one associated with witchcraft or malevolence.
The word describes appearance or manner that evokes such a figure: Her haglike features startled him, a haglike cackle from the shadows.
It carries connotations of both physical unattractiveness and sinister character.
