Changeling

Changelings are the offspring of Hag mothers and Human fathers. Although it is not known if male changelings are never born, all recorded occurrences of Changelings have been female.
When a young Changeling reaches adolescence they can become subject to Hag-like urges. If a Changeling were to submit to these urges their physiology may transform into a full Hag which may include, but is not limited to: disproportional or additional limbs; enhanced magical capabilities; prolonged lifespans.
