					Template:Infobox Warcraft character

The Sea Witch was the entity the Underworld Minions band of murlocs worshipped on the Darkspear islands in the Maelstrom prior to Thrall's destruction of their cavern of worship. She was a powerful naga spellcaster who had used magic to gain the murloc followers.Template:Cite The Sea Witch demanded regular sacrifices from her murloc worshippers, which led them to capture visitors to their island chain. Thrall, his soldiers, the Darkspears, and soldiers from Kul'tiras were captured by her followers to be sacraficed. The Horde and the darkspears managed to escape due to Thrall's efforts though they lost Sen'jin. The Kul'tiras soldiers weren't so lucky. Afterwards Thrall managed to hold back her followers and escape on the boats. She taunted Thrall saying he would be consumed by the tides. Despite this, he succesfully escaped.

After significant speculation, has been confirmed that she was indeed a naga, as the title implies. However, it isn't clear if she was actually a banshee, or if her nature has been retconned.

The character appeared in the demo of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, an extension of the tutorial Exodus of the Horde campaign. The missions featuring her were omitted from the initial release but were included with the expansion.
