Wasn't sure if this should be in the bug reports or if it's just an added feature. I've tried to kill one witch before though, and it's a super nope as it is.

Witch huts naturally spawn with 3 persistent witches. Looks like another spawned near it overnight.

If you're unlucky, with despawn mechanics being a bit weird and there being 3 persistent ones, you can even get more in one spot. I think I once counted 5 of em within view. Also, I don't remember why, but shooting arrows at them when they're stuck in the water is basically useless. Either it was some weird bug or they heal themselves? I forgot. Best to stay clear if they're in the water and be very careful if they're on land, they tend to sneak up on you at night, especially when a slime is keeping you busy.

Yupp, when witches get their health below a certain level they can make the decision to heal themselves by brewing and drinking a health pot. It's actually neat mechanic because when you become powerful enough, witches are an easy way to get health pots on the go when exploring! :D
