The '''Sham hamwitch''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in ''[[Dragon Quest X]]''. It is a porcine spellcaster that takes pride in being an alchemist.

==Characteristics==
Sham hamwitches are the [[Rarefied monster|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.
