Morgatha, Swill Hag – The Sewer Butcher

Morgatha, Swill Hag – The Sewer Butcher

Female Monstrosity (Fey, Spellcaster)

Lurching forward with a heavy iron meat cleaver and a slung basket brimming with severed skulls, this grotesque matriarch brings visceral dread to the battle grid. Blistered hide, tattered rags, and a crooked pointed hat establish an imposing, repulsive silhouette. Keepers seeking an unsettling subterranean boss, swamp witch, or flesh-scavenging villain will find an Artifact brimming with dark narrative malice.

Tabletop Lore

Inhabiting stagnant drainage channels and plague-ridden hollows beneath ancient settlements, the swill hag collects the forgotten scraps of the upper world to brew foul alchemical horrors. Armed with a heavy butcher’s cleaver and sustained by foul subterranean offerings, she views every wanderer as raw ingredients for her bubbling vats. Those who hear her rasping cackle echoing through damp iron conduits rarely find their way back to the surface intact.

Highlight

An imposing, highly textured grotesque sculpt featuring diseased hide, a basket filled with skulls, and a heavy cleaver grounded on a sewer drainage grate.
