A very important witch, such as Granny Weatherwax, is acknowledged as the "hag o' hags". Such folktales typically portray witches as either remarkably ugly hags or remarkably beautiful young women. All witches, regardless of age, are called "hags". This includes humans, dwarves, house-elves, giants, goblins, hags, veelas, and vampires. The relationship between gay men and female heterosexual "fag hags" has become highly stereotypical. It includes lore for monsters such as beholders, hags, and illithids. However, it turns out the handmaidens are ugly, old hags. According to the legend, Boo Hags are similar to vampires. It is scarred by peat hags, some deeper than a man. Many stories about hags seem to have been used to frighten children into being good. Blue glass bottles were also hung in trees to trap the haints and boo hags. The Three Fates (particularly Atropos) are often depicted as hags. Hags as sovereignty figures abound in Irish mythology. Galliagh comes from the Irish "Calliagh/Galliagh" which translates as either "nuns" or "old hags". However the hags (Sholto's guards and lovers) attempt to kill Merry.
