Followers of the ancient swamp ways, these witches rise above the muck and mire on a pair of stilt-like chicken legs. They are masters of pain and poison. “All the infections that sun sucks up From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall and make him By inch-meal a disease! His spirits hear me And yet I needs must curse.” -William Shakespeare, _The Tempest_, II, 2. 1611.

Useful Info

Fenstrider witches are hexing, supportive casters of the Swamp. Paralysis can be deadly in every branch; the Swamp is no exception. If you get into melee range, they can inflict Agony on you. High willpower is recommended to deal with them. When killed, their corpses may form into usable wands.
