Worshipful, Master Doctor. So please you, I'm only a poor old woman, I am, and very obliged to his Worshipful Dwarfship for his friendship, I'm sure. His Majesty, bless his handsome face, has no need to be afraid of an old woman that's nearly doubled up with the rheumatics and hasn't two sticks to put under her kettle. I have some poor little skill — not like yours, Master Doctor, of course — in small spells and cantrips that I'd be glad to use against our enemies if it was agreeable to all concerned. For I hate 'em. Oh yes. No one hates better than me.

~ The Hag.
“
I'm hunger. I'm thirst. Where I bite, I hold 'til I die, and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy's body and bury it with me. I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies.

~ The Werewolf.
The Hag and the Werewolf are minor antagonists in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and its 2008 film adaptation. They are two former servants and worshipers of Jadis the White Witch intent on using cunning and manipulation to resurrect her from the dead.
Not much is known about the Hag or the Werewolf's background, only that they were followers of Jadis during the events of the previous film. After her death, the two went into hiding until King Miraz and the Telmarines conquered Narnia. They then were forced to join with the remaining Narnians in exile and hiding.
Book[]
In the book, Nikabrik, the Hag, and the Werewolf try to persuade Caspian, Doctor Cornelius and Trufflehunter to resurrect the White Witch by using black magic. Caspian refused, and soon a fight broke out. Peter, Edmund and Trumpkin, who had heard the whole conversation, come to their rescue. Trumpkin kills the Hag before she can strangle Doctor Cornelius, and Peter and Caspian kill the Werewolf before the could begin the ritual. When the light returns, the Hag, the Werewolf, and Nikabrik are dead. It is unknown who killed Nikabrik.
Film Adaption[]
In the film, Nikabrik, the Hag, and the Werewolf come to Caspian during crisis, offering a way to ensure Miraz's death and secure power back to him. Caspian unwittingly though reluctantly agrees, and the two begin a ritual involving an archaic incantation and the (somehow) recovered wand of the White Witch. They use it to create a wall of ice with the spirit of Jadis within. After seeing her in the wall of ice, Caspian realizes that he unwittingly agreed to try and resurrect Jadis and tells them that it was not what he wanted, but the Werewolf restrains him. Jadis asks for Caspian to provide her with a drop of his blood, which will bring her back to life. Caspian struggles to resist but his hand is cut and his blood begins to spill. Caspian still tries to resist but then becomes tempted. However, Peter, Edmund, Trumpkin, and Lucy arrive and fight them off. Peter fights and kills the Hag, Edmund fights and kills the Werewolf, and Trumpkin and Lucy fight and kill Nikabrik. Peter knocks Caspian away from the ice, but becomes entranced himself and begins to be tempted by the spirit of Jadis. However, Edmund sneaks up behind the wall and stabs it, shattering the wall and killing Jadis for good.
Personalities[]
The Hag and the Werewolf are shown to be extremely manipulative, cunning, sly, and knavish, able to easily convince the heroic Caspian to resort to drastic measures (in the book, he refused because she was tyrannical even worse than Miraz. In the film, he unwittingly though reluctantly agreed due to wanting to kill Miraz for killing his father). They are also unafraid to get their hands dirty, as both partake in combat when their ritual is challenged.

Quotes[]
Book[]
“
Doctor Cornelius: Stop, stop, stop. You go on too fast. The Witch is dead. All the stories agree on that. What does Nikabrik mean by calling on the Witch? Werewolf: Oh, is she? Hag: Oh, bless his heart, his dear little Majesty needn't mind about the White Lady — that's what we call her — being dead. The Worshipful Master Doctor is only making game of a poor old woman like me when he says that. Sweet Mastery Doctor, learned Master Doctor, who ever heard of a witch that really died? You can always get them back. Werewolf: Call her up. We are all ready. Draw the circle. Prepare the blue fire.

Trivia[]
In the television series, the Hag was credited as "Old Hag" and the Werewolf was credited as "Wolfman".
The Hag, the Werewolf, and Nikabrik play the same roles and serve as bosses in the video game tie-in to the movie.
In the television and film adaptions, parts of the werewolf's famous quote are cut out like:
In the television adaption, the line "And even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy's body and bury it with me." is cut.
In the film adaption, the lines: "Where I bite, I hold 'til I die, and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy's body and bury it with me." is cut.
In the original book, Caspian was not part of the ritual. Peter, Edmund, and Trumpkin merely stumbled upon them performing the ritual and killed them before it could begin.
In the original book, it was blue fire that the Hag and Werewolf were about to be use in the ritual. However, in the film, it is the broken wand of Jadis that that the hag and Werewolf used for the ritual.
Both Hags and Werewolves are traditionally hostile species in the world of Narnia.
Their role alludes to Satanic followers in real-life, just as Jadis alludes to Satan and Aslan alludes to Jesus Christ.
This is supported by the fact that the Hag's chanting during the ritual is reminiscent of Arabic.
In the book, it is shown that the Hag attacked Doctor Cornelius before getting killed by Trumpkin while the Werewolf fought Capsian and Peter before getting killed by them until the lights went out. However, in the film, the lights don't go out and the opponents are switched with Peter fighting and killing the Hag and Edmund fighting and killing the Werewolf.
