![[PeggyDeadbells.png]] # Peggy Deadbells _Night Hag Nightmare Harvester | [[Sewn Sisters]] | [[Chult]]_ ## Summary The most physically imposing of the [[Sewn Sisters]], specializing in harvesting children's nightmares and transforming mortals into [[Soulmonger]]s. She personally transformed young [[Petra]] during childhood experiments in a nightmare nursery—giving her the ability to hear the dead. Greeted [[Petra]] with disturbing joy when she returned to the nightmare realm, calling it a "gift." %% ## At a Glance Massive hag with ashen skin and matted gray hair. Thumps heavily on a polished peg leg made from human bone. A necklace of chattering children's teeth hangs around her thick neck. When she laughs, sickly yellow gas billows from her nose and ears. ## Personality Shifts unpredictably between motherly affection and sadistic violence—often in the same sentence. Takes perverse delight in corrupting innocence. Finds dark humor in suffering. Sadistically maternal. ## Quote _"The little ones have such sweet dreams to spoil—like ripe berries, ready to pop between your teeth. Would you like to hear them scream?"_ ## Background **The Architect:** Primary architect of [[Petra]]'s transformation into the first humanoid [[Soulmonger]]. Would recognize her immediately. **The Harvest:** Specializes in children's fears, which she considers "more pure." Carries a gnome-skin pouch with five black marbles containing captured fears. Her peg leg is fashioned from the femur of her first child victim. **Other Soulmongers:** Created [[Aerisi Kalinoth]] and [[Ravenna]], finding their existing traumas suitable for exploitation. **Current Operations:** Manages [[Soulmonger Machine]] operations in [[Tomb of the Nine Gods]]. Shifted from mass nightmare harvesting to targeted dream manipulation after the heroes destroyed the [[Nightmare Loom]]. ## Stats **Night Hag** (MM 178) with enhancements: - Nightmare-based legendary actions - Fear-inducing aura from children's teeth necklace - Toxic laughter causing hallucinations %%
