Witch

A Witch is an upcoming ranged mob. It will be the second hostile ranged mob to spawn in the Overworld - the first being the skeleton.

Appearance
Witches bare a similar likeness to the Villager mob, and they wear purple and green robes with brown leggings underneath. They have large noses with a single wart and have lavender colored eyes. They wear a traditional witch hat with a green object on it, and their skin is slightly more pale than the normal villager.

Combat
As of snapshot 12w38a, it uses splash potions to fight the player, such as poison, weakness, damage, and slowness. These potions will effect other mobs - not just the player. It does not burn in sunlight and when set on fire, drinks a potion of fire resistance. Upon death, witches rarely drop potions of healing, swiftness, and fire resistance. Witches are immune to certain splash potions.

Trivia

 * Though witches are modeled after villagers, they do not share any attributes of villagers, such as utilizing housing. Furthermore, Iron Golems will attack Witches as most other hostile mobs. However, they will periodically give off purple stars similar to the villager's green stars. They are also currently unable to open doors.
