The Sham hamwitch is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest X. It is a porcine spellcaster that takes pride in being an alchemist.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Sham hamwitches are the rarefied form of the more common Sham hatwitch. Its fur has become scarlet and it has replaced its sorcerer's cap with a headpiece made of silver with gold trim. According to its bestiary descriptions in X and Treasures, the sham hamwitch's hat is said to be its own alchemic creation.
