MasterTemplate:PC-Console only Template:NPC The Witch Doctor is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the Queen Bee has been defeated and an empty House is available.
In order to purchase some of his items his house must be in a Jungle Biome. Alternately, you can create an artificial Jungle Biome. Lining the floor and roof of a fairly spacious room with mud blocks and Jungle Grass Seeds, then letting vines and grass grow can achieve this fairly easily.

What happens when the Witch Doctor is submerged in Shimmer?
When the Witch Doctor character in Terraria is submerged in Shimmer, he undergoes a visual transformation into his Shimmered form. However, this change is purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay or dialogue. If you want to return the Witch Doctor to his classic look, you simply need to submerge him in Shimmer again.

Notes
Template:Bug
- Lihzhard blocks will also count towards a Jungle biome, but won't spawn Jungle hostiles.
- A house counts as within a Jungle biome if the background changes to the Jungle-themed background while in the housing, or Jungle-themed music starts to play.
Trivia
- The Witch Doctor appears to have green skin and a tail, so it is possible that he's a Lihzahrd.
- One of the quotes relates to the song, witch doctor.
History
- 1.2.1.2: Witch Doctor now correctly sells cauldrons during Halloween.
