In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game, Baba Yaga (/ˈbɑːbə ˈjɑːɡə/ BAH-bə YAH-gə) is a powerful antagonist and resident of a mobile hut which travels via a pair of massive chicken legs jutting from its underside.
Baba Yaga is based upon the Baba Yaga of Slavic legend.
Baba Yaga was first mentioned in the Dungeons & Dragons game in the 1979 Dungeon Master's Guide, where her hut appears as an artifact. Baba Yaga herself would appear briefly in Dragon Magazine #53, and in much greater detail in The Dancing Hut, a 1984 adventure in Dragon magazine #83. An AD&D gamebook, Nightmare Realm of Baba Yaga appeared in 1986. In 1988, Baba Yaga had a brief cameo in Castle Greyhawk. Baba Yaga's hut was once more described in 1993's Book of Artifacts. A full-length adventure module, The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga, was released in 1995.
