Witch doctor

A witch doctor is a tribal shaman found in various cultures who utilize spiritualism, homeopathy, faith healing and other forms of mysticism to cure ailments within a community. They may also possess advanced levels of magical knowledge in order to create curses as well.

In the 1977 film King Kong, the members of an American oil company arrived on Skull Island, where they encountered a tribe of natives led by a chieftain who may have also been a witch doctor.

In the Atlas Comics era of Marvel Comics, an African witch doctor enacted a curse that caused giant roots to overwhelm the region in "The Earth-Crawlers!" story from Journey Into Mystery #57.
