What is a witcher?

Witchers are specially trained monster hunters in the fictional world created by Andrzej Sapkowski, most notably featured in The Witcher books, games, and TV adaptations. They undergo rigorous training and consume alchemical potions to gain enhanced abilities, such as increased strength, speed, and heightened senses. Witchers are hired to protect people from dangerous creatures and supernatural threats, often traveling alone and facing prejudice due to their mutations and mysterious practices. Despite their skills, Witchers lead difficult lives and are sometimes mistrusted by the very people they protect.
