Actions
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: ( 2d8+4 ) slashing damage.
Illusory Appearance. The hag covers herself and anything she is wearing or carrying with a magical illusion that makes her look like another creature of her general size and humanoid shape. The illusion ends if the hag takes a bonus action to end it or if she dies.
The changes wrought by this effect fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, the hag could appear to have smooth skin, but someone touching her would feel her rough flesh. Otherwise, a creature must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check to discern that the hag is disguised.
Invisible Passage. The hag magically turns invisible until she attacks or casts a spell, or until her concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). While invisible, she leaves no physical evidence of her passage, so she can be tracked only by magic. Any equipment she wears or carries is invisible with her.
Lair Actions
The lair has an initiative of 20, losing ties if present. The same lair action can't be repeated each turn. The following options are available:
Tidal Wave : Out of a sudden, the water rises from the lair's pool, as if a Tidal Wave spell is cast. All creatures within an area up to 30 ft. long, up to 10 ft. wide and 10 ft. tall must make a Dexterity Saving Throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage and is knocked Prone. On a success, the creature receives half as much damage. This also extinguishes all fires in the area.
Summon Swarm of Rot Grubs : Summon two swarms of Rot Grubs from the trees.
Mass Entangle : Roots sprout from the ground, as if the Entangle spell is cast on each creature.
Summon two Drowners : The water becomes restless, with two drowners climbing up to shore.
