He Xi placed his hand on the book's spine and silently murmured in his heart, "Hag."
A warm surge of magic immediately emanated from the book, like a trickle flowing into his mind. Detailed information about hags surfaced in an instant, orderly and clear, as though he had witnessed it himself.
Green Hag:
Adventurer rank: Level 20–22 (according to the Adventurers' Guild's standards, equivalent to a newly awakened professional spellcaster)
Characteristics: Its skin is a murky green, its body is tall and slender, and its hair resembles rotting waterweed.
Habits: It lurks in woodlands, swamps, or abandoned river sections.
It was fond of capturing prey through disguises and lies. It could imitate the cries of children or a traveler's calls for help, or transform into a beautiful young woman to lure victims into its lair.

Sea Witch:.
Ghoul Hag:
Adventurer rank: Level 35–4. Characteristics: Its body is enormous, its skin is a sickly blue or black, and its body is as hard as steel.
Habits: It lurks in mountains or caves. Unlike green hags, ogre hags enjoyed pure violence and torture. They liked capturing strong creatures, especially ogres and trolls, torturing them until they suffered mental breakdowns, and then keeping them as "pets" or devouring them whole. They especially enjoyed eating children.
Skills:.
Witch Coven:
