List of Narnian Creatures - H

H

• Hag - Hags are followers of The White Witch who help bind Aslan to the Stone Table in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. They appear extremely loyal to the Witch as one Hag later attempts to bring back the ghost of the Witch through sorcery. She is described as having a "shrill, whining voice", and calls herself a "poor old woman". Her nose and chin stick out "like a pair of nut-crackers", and she has dirty grey hair (PC). The old hag appears in Prince Caspian and with her evil sidekick a Werewolf. She and her bloodthirsty friend try to bring the White Witch back to life through black magic. Unfortunately their plan is ruined when King Peter and his crew arrive and kill them both with Trumpkin behead her. In the Disney films, they are bird-like with beaks and talons. They are portrayed by Barbara Kellerman (in the BBC version) and Klara Issova (in the Disney version).

• Half-Breed - Half-Breeds are beings that have been born from parents who are not of the same species. The sons and daughters of King Frank and Queen Helen married Dryads and Naiads and had children with them, from these came the Archenlanders and later the Calormenes. Jadis and her race were said to be descendents from the unions of Giants and Jinn. During the reign of Miraz and the Telmarines, dwarfs disguised themselves as humans and interbred with humans, and from these unions came the Half-Dwarfs, including Dr. Cornelius and Caspian's nurse. Prince Rilian, and his descendents, are part-Star, since Prince Rillian's mother, Caspian's wife, was the daughter of the Star Ramandu.

• Hamadryad - (See Nymph)

• Hare - One of the Old Narnians Caspian is first introduced to is a Hare called Camillo. (PC). Jewel the Unicorn tells Jill about the legendary Hare Moonwood of old. (LB).

• Hedgehog - Hedgehogs are members of Caspian's army in (PC) One of the creatures Caspian is introduced to when he meets the Old Narnians is a hedgehog called Hogglestock. (PC) One of the first creatures Shasta meets in Narnia is a rather slow-witted hedgehog. (HHB).

• Horse - Both speechless and Talking Horses exist in Narnia. While the speechless variety are often used as mounts and pack animals, a Talking Horse will only allow itself to be ridden during desperate times, such as war. The Calormenes sometimes capture Narnian foals who consequently grow up in Calormen and live there in slavery. Bree and Hwin manage to escape. In the Battle of Anvard, the soldiers that fought the Calormen Army rode Talking Horses and non-talking horses (HHB). When the Calormenes invade Narnia, they force grown Talking Horses to work for them. In the 2005 film, Edmund rides a talking horse named Phillip.
