A witch seen by Captain Kirk on Pyris VII.
A witch was a woman thought to possess magical powers granted to her by a compact with the Devil, a powerful and evil being.
The witch's traditional connection to evil has been used in many plays, novels, and stories for hundreds of years; it has essentially been woven into the human subconscious. And this was where the alien explorer Korob found it when he telepathically scanned a USS Enterprise landing party. Witches were among the eerie manifestations of his power; he created an illusion of three witches either to dissuade Captain Kirk or to test his character. He and his colleague Sylvia, presented themselves as sorcerer and witch, complete with ancient, fog-bound castles, magical implements and accoutrements, and displays of power intended to suggest magic. (TOS: "Catspaw")
In actuality the tales of witchs were caused by the Megans. (TAS: "The Magicks of Megas-tu")
