Physical Description:
Baba Yaga appears as an ancient crone with a hunched back, gnarled limbs, and piercing eyes that seem to see into the very soul of those who gaze upon her. She is draped in tattered robes adorned with arcane symbols and carries a gnarled staff that crackles with eldritch energy.
Fighting Strategy:
Baba Yaga prefers to manipulate her opponents with cunning spells and illusions, using her mastery of magic to control the battlefield and outwit her foes. She relies on her undead servants, Hansel and Gretel, to engage in direct combat while she remains safely ensconced in the shadows, casting devastating spells and unleashing powerful curses.
