sea hag
Saltwater dwelling witch
A sea hag is a mythical creature from folklore—an ugly, malevolent witch associated with the ocean, often blamed for storms, shipwrecks, or drowned sailors.
The term extends to any frightening old woman, especially one weathered or wild-looking: She emerged from the surf like some sea hag.
In fantasy games and fiction, sea hags are specific monster types dwelling in coastal caves or underwater lairs.
