	Baba Lysaga was the [[midwife]] to [[Queen Ravenovia ~~von~~ Roeyen]] in her pregnancy and birth to [[Strahd von Zarovich]]. Despite Ravenovia's motherhood, Baba Lysaga always viewed Strahd as truly her baby. She planted the potential for dark magic within him. Baba Lysaga's unwholesome preoccupation with young Strahd motivated Ravenovia to [[exile]] her. Though separated from Strahd, Baba Lysaga kept tabs on Strahd's life form afar and came to admire him more and more. In the meanwhile, Baba Lysaga performed innumerable [[sacrifice]]s to Mother Night with the hope that Ravenovia would one day be struck down by a fatal [[disease]].

{{canon}}

Baba Lysaga is an [[NPC]] and secondary antagonist from the [[5th Edition]] [[module]] [[Curse of Strahd]]. [[Evil]] and [[corrupt]] even prior to [[Strahd]]'s birth, Baba Lysaga's unwholesome preoccupation with "her son", devotion to [[Mother Night]], and [[hatred]] of the [[wereraven]]s makes this [[witch]] a decidedly vile character<ref name="Curse of Strahd p. 228-229">[[Curse of Strahd]] p. 228-229</ref>

==History==
Baba Lysaga was the [[midwife]] to [[Queen Ravenovia von Roeyen]] in her pregnancy and birth to [[Strahd von Zarovich]]. Despite Ravenovia's motherhood, Baba Lysaga always viewed Strahd as truly her baby. She planted the potential for dark magic within him. Baba Lysaga's unwholesome preoccupation with young Strahd motivated Ravenovia to [[exile]] her. Though separated from Strahd, Baba Lysaga kept tabs on Strahd's life form afar and came to admire him more and more. In the meanwhile, Baba Lysaga performed innumerable [[sacrice]]s to Mother Night with the hope that Ravenovia would one day be struck down by a fatal [[disease]]. Eventually Mother Night granted her death and Ravenovia was struck dead.<ref name="Curse of Strahd p. 228-229">[[Curse of Strahd]] p. 228-229</ref>

Following Strahd's fall into [[corruption]] and depravity, Baba Lysaga kept off the effects of old age through the sacrifice of innumerable beasts. Although Strahd discounts their threat, Lysaga has made it her duty to plague, antagonize, and destroy the [[wereraven]]s of the [[Keepers of the Feather]].<ref name="Curse of Strahd p. 228-229">[[Curse of Strahd]] p. 228-229</ref> She animated [[Baba Lysaga's Creeping Hut|her Creeping Hut]] from one of the [[stolen]] [[Wizard of Wines Magic Gems]].

==Current Sketch==
Baba Lysaga (at least, in her mind) serves Strahd from afar under her own initiative. Recognizing on some level that Strahd would never acknowledge her, Baba Lysaga has never met with Strahd and confessed her maternal affections to him. Instead she wages war on a threat he doesn't not even consider serious.ref name="Curse of Strahd p. 228-229">[[Curse of Strahd]] p. 228-229</ref> Baba Lysaga resides in the [[ruins]] of [[Berez]]<ref>CoS p. 163-164</ref>, where she is spied upon by [[Muriel Vinshaw]], an ally of the Martikovs.<ref name="Curse of Strahd p. 165">CoS p. 165</ref>

==Special Abilities and Resources==
Lysaga continues ritual [[blood]] [[sacrifice]] to this day in the [[ruins]] of [[Berez]], to where she wards off both the toll of time to her person<ref>p. 161</ref> and the use of [[divination]] magic against her. She also has some power over [[insect]]s, able to summon [[insect swarm]]s and even transform into them.<ref name="Curse of Strahd p. 228-229">[[Curse of Strahd]] p. 228-229</ref>

Beyond her [[construct]]s, Baba Lysaga also animated [[Baba Lysaga's Giant Skull|a giant skull]] to serve as her personal air vessel.<ref>CoS p. 163</ref>

==Alliances and Minions==
In addition to her hut, Baba Lysaga has created a number of [[scarecrew (Magical Construct)|scarecrow]] [[construct]]s that she uses to harrass and harangue the [[Martikov Family]] and other wereravens. She also mantains alliances with the [[Barovian witch]]es of [[Castle Ravenloft]] and the [[druid]]s of [[Yester Hill]].<ref name="Curse of Strahd p. 228-229">[[Curse of Strahd]] p. 228-229</ref>

==Art==
p. 228

==Game Statistics==
Baba Lysaga has her own unique game statblock, though she casts spells as a 16th level [[Wizard]]. She is of [[Chaotic Evil]] [[alignment]]
