It resembles the average female Common Infected, but instead of standing around and idling, it is usually slumped on the ground and making loud noises which resemble sobbing, which can be heard long before it's ever seen, allowing the player a chance to prepare a plan to deal with it.

 

The Witch has been heavily mutated by a strain of the infection. It is unknown if there is a male equivalent to the Witch or if the strain of infection even affects males.
Though resembling a typical female Infected, she has sharpened elongated fingers, similar to the effects of a type of Marfan syndrome, which is known as Arachnodactyly. She has gained a massive increase in strength, enabling her to incapacitate or instantly kill Survivors in one hit. Needless to say, great care is vital on expert. Her strength is not visible via muscle growth, as with the Tank. She is known to cry when not aware of the Survivors, though the exact reasoning behind it is unknown. Even though her mentality is largely similar to that of the typical Infected, she is not distracted by things like the flashing lights and beeps of a pipe bomb, nor is she apparently attracted by things such as car alarms going off, though this will alert her of the Survivors' presence. In an interview with Chet, he claims the Witch has a strange attraction to the smell of sugar, explaining why there are a large amount of Witches near the sugar mill in Hard Rain.
