Witches (The Witches)

The Grand High Witch, leader of the Witches.

The Witches are a secret society of witches with evil magic and the titular villains of both the Roald Dahl book and film adaption of the same name. They are actually demons who have come to Earth and for thousands of years they have made it their duty to rid the world of children, which they loath due to children smelling bad to them.

Portrayal of witches were considerably dark for a children's book, as they were all guilty of casting harmful spells of children, which included trapping them inside a painting or polymorphing them into animals. They would usually go after a child once per week.

They are led by the evil and deceptive Grand High Witch, who the rest of the witches are terrified of. Unlike the other witches, she did not limit herself to more than one child per week. In fact, she came up with a plan that would ultimately murder all the children in England.

All of the witches on England were killed off after Lucas used their own formula against them.
