Hoping that if/when archfey warlocks get added in they get some special interaction with Aunty Ethel. Pretty sure hags are a category of fey. Someone can correct me on that if I'm wrong. She does have redcaps serving her though which are definitely fey.
Speaking of red caps would be neat if instead of quatsits or imps they were an option the archfey warlock could summon with pact of the chain.

She seems to be either a green Hag, or an annis Hag, which are both fey (it's only night Hags that aren't true fey anymore). It depends on what kind of archfey you're pacted to as to how she would act, as Hags aren't necessarily part of any of the courts and tend to form their own covens or groups.

I wish there were more options for pact of the chain, as we don't even have all the options that we should have yet, becuase we don't have pseudodragons or sprites as an option. I'd love it if they added even more, as I've played in several games where people had creatures other than those as their chain-pact familiars. There are a lot of little monsters that fit into the 1/4 to 1 CR bracket, but unfortunately redcaps aren't one of them, they would have to make a weaker version available to summon.

So many options for this interaction and so many ways it could go depending.. Imagine being able to charm or command the red caps. suddenly her mini army is gone. Also it would be awesome to be able to break the spell hold Ethel has on the 4 behind the door. Killing them isn't a big deal but removing the masks from them and breaking the curse????

Given that we already have subclass switching for paladins, maybe warlocks will be able to switch to Auntie as their patron?

I really hope that we get the Archfey warlock. It's the class that I'm most excited for!

Given that a party of level 3-4 characters can murder her right in the face, she's probably a bit weak to be a patron.

LoL well you can find her corps in the underdark if you yeet her down the hole. That being said, anyone that can maintain a swamp sized illusion ain’t one to play with… She can make characters our levels think what she wants…
