The Sham hatwitch is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Sham hatwitches are piglet-like monsters with brown fur that wear big, wide-brimmed beige hat with jagged brown patterns on it that resembles a growling monster. Their big hats almost completely obscure their small black eyes and tiny tusks. The sham hatwitches have a particular affinity for fire magic and can even breathe out fiery breath from the mouths on their hats, however, they are also cowardly monsters and tend to shy away underneath their hats. Its name is a play on the term "ham sandwich".
