Default Re: [DF] Idea for the Witch as a monster type

So why would witches be in a dungeon?

Here might be some ideas. A witch can easily maneuver through a monster infested dungeon by magic. She could transform herself into a bat or monster and leave the dungeon to do what she desires. The other monsters might not even know there is a witch in the dungeon. The witch might like to live in the dungeon because in order for witch-hunters to get to her lair they would have to navigate through a dungeon and defeat many monsters to get to her lair.

The monsters might know the witch is in the dungeon and they may do her bidding because they fear her . The monsters may perform raids on villages for her to find babies for her rituals. In return the witch would help to defend their lair. She could scry on intruders and alert the monsters that delvers are in the dungeon. With her ability to scry she can coordinate attacks and even surprise the delvers. The witch may aid dark temples serving demon lords as well. She may not worship the demon lord in question but she may make bargains with it and help to defend the dark clergy in return for various magical secrets. Thus the witch can have reasons for being in dungeons.
