Trivia

 * A "witch doctor" was the colonialist term for African shamans and "wise men" of various tribal traditions, essentially the same role as the Native American "medicine man".
 * The quote "" plays on the "which/witch". Both sentences sound almost identical but have very different meanings.
 * The quote "" is a reference to the memetically famous "Chicken, Arise" sequence from the cartoon series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, in which the protagonists recruit the aid of a somewhat dubious witch doctor who uses a similar chant in a protracted effort to resurrect a chicken.
 * Many of his quotes contain two sentences that use the same words to play on each other.
 * The Witch Doctor is a Lihzahrd, as can be seen by his green skin and tail. This is especially evident by his party quote "I wanted to see how your kind celebrate". This was confirmed by Leinfors on the Terraria forums. It is also mentioned in his Bestiary's entry. Another factor that points to this is his happiness quote when near the Princess; " Kind to my people, [Name of Princess] is. Much appreciated."
 * Unlike the Skeleton Merchant, where Skeleton will not attack it and vice-versa, Lihzahrds and the Witch Doctor will still fight each other.
 * The staff that the Witch Doctor holds may look like a pygmy staff, but it is actually a "", a wooden circle atop a stick, with strings resembling a spiders web & feathers that hang from them. They originate from Native American tribes.
