There is no male version of the noun 'hag', a word for a wicked, ugly old woman.

Some dictionaries equate the noun 'hag' with a witch, which is a word for a male or a female.

If you knew of a man who seemed wicked, was old and ugly looking, what word springs to mind. In a search through literature, I found the description spelled out, a wicked old man, an ugly old man, an evil, ugly old man, etc.

In the TV program 'The Simpsons', Moe the bartender describes himself as a troll because he believes himself ugly and unfit for 'normal' society. The word 'troll' is used as a word for people who post junk information, use cheap tricks, or in general cause annoyance or disruption on the internet for their own purposes. That may be as close as you can get.

The term "hag" is typically used for a female. There isn't a specific male equivalent; however, "warlock" is sometimes used to refer to a male witch or wizard, but it doesn't have the same negative connotations as "hag."
