An enchanter, also known as a scholar, is an illager and hostile mob that enchants other hostile mobs to make them stronger and more dangerous. Enchanters are found in many missions in Minecraft Dungeons.
Contents
Appearance[]
Enchanters are magical illagers that have the ability to enchant other mobs to make them stronger. They are seen wearing a wine-colored robe, similar to the evoker, but with more prominent gold stripes, diamond buttons on its shoulders and gold lines near the end of its sleeves, a turban-like hat with a diamond on it, and a cape with a golden outline at its end. It carries a tome which it uses to enchant nearby mobs and control villagers in their hostage and slave operations. It closes its hands like the evoker and illusioner when idle.

Behavior[]
- Basic attack
The enchanter hits the hero with its book if the hero gets too close, dealing light damage.
- Enhance
Enchanters enchant other hostile mobs buffing many of their stats. They shoot a magical beam to link one mob at a time, and can enchant up to two mobs at a time. Both mobs involved in the enchantment must be alive and near each other for the enchantment to be sustained; if the enchanter is killed or if the enchanted mob goes too far away from the enchanter, the enchantment ends and the mob returns to normal.
