Agatha, "the Hungry," was a powerful witch from Eldraine. She was the sister of Eriette, Hylda, and an unnamed witch who was the birth mother of the Kenrith twins.[1][2]
Description[ | ]
Agatha appeared kind and motherly, but in reality she had a bestial nature.[3] She had wicked, piercing violet eyes and sharpened teeth.[4][5]She had long, clawlike, red-painted fingernails and wore jewelry made of human teeth. She enchanted her victims through her singing, and was enthralled with the sound of her voice.[4]
History[ | ]
Agatha and her sisters Eriette and Hylda helped the faerie Talion cast the Wicked Slumber to end the Phyrexian Invasion of Eldraine.[1] In exchange, Talion gave her the Vile Cauldron, which allowed her to boil down the essence of those within.[6][3] She began influencing the forest animals from her cabin near Dunbarrow, turning them more vicious and carnivorous.[7]

Months later, she enchanted the woodsman Peter, turning him into the Wolf Knight.[4] With Peter's help, she captured Syr Imodane and prepared to cook her into a stew. Kellan slew the witch by pushing her into her cauldron and boiling her alive.[3]
Inspiration[ | ]
A cannibalistic collector of children in the forest, Agatha is based on the witch of Hansel and Gretel.[1]
