Spawning

Spectator villagers transform into witches in warden arenas that generate in mines or special mines containing both the Warden Boss Fight ingredient and the Eternal Lightning ingredient.

They do not face the stage when spawned until the world is reloaded.

A witch has an 8.5% chance of dropping a potion, if it is killed while drinking it. The chance is increased by 1% for every level of Looting. The following potions can be drank by a witch and can therefore be dropped:

5XP experience is dropped when kill credit is given to the player.

Behavior

The mob is permanently idle. It spectates the warden boss fight and makes comments throughout the encounter. It is immune to all forms of damage from Survival players but can be killed by a Creative player. It does not fall if the block beneath it was destroyed.

While in the arena, spectator witches make sounds such as starting calls or cheers as they observe the player’s encounter with the warden after it has been awakened. They cheer again when the player defeats the warden.

Like regular witches, spectator witches have a chance to drink a potion of Fire Resistance when set on fire and a potion of Healing when not at full health.

Quotes

Why are they trying to start the show now? We will get quiet when it's time!

After the player attempts to start the fight immediately.

I wonder when they will "Go-at" (horn) at the start of the fight?

If the player has not blown a horn yet.

Where is the music? Isn't it supposed to start?

If the player has not started the music after starting the fight.

Even the Warden got too tired for waiting for the music to start.

If the player has not started the music yet.

The Warden is so ready to act, when does the lightshow start?

If the player has not activated the copper bulb.

IT'S DOING THE WORM! THE WORM!

The villagers as the warden performs the worm dance.

We need another mob on stage! (Or a player who looks like a mob)

After the warden finishes the worm dance.

It looks like the Warden is done, where is the finale? Redstone Dust

After the warden finishes its last performance.

There should have been rewards, and flowers should come from the crowd, but you know, lol...

After the fireworks are set off.
