Baba Yaga is a witch (or one of a trio of sisters of the same name), who appears as a deformed and/or ferocious-looking elderly woman. She flies around in a mortar and wields a pestle .
She dwells deep in the forest, in a hut usually described as standing
on chicken legs, with a fence decorated with human skulls. Baba Yaga may
help or hinder those that encounter or seek her out. Baba Yaga and her sisters are assumed to be immortal, although one can drive them off with enough persistence. Expect a very hard fight if she chooses to hinder. Baba Yaga tends to take an interest in those who meddle in the future. Baba Yaga usually drops her hat when defeated in a fight. |
