There's technically an error in this spritesheet: The Magicant Witch actually has two variant NPCs. The first has a full set of walking sprites, while the second is used as a shopkeeper in the top three houses of Magicant and doesn't have any directional or animation frames. You would be unlikely to notice that they're different sprites/NPCs, though, because the "shopkeeper witch" just copied and pasted the normal Witch NPC's sprite, but it IS a distinct NPC/sprite and is grouped in with the other Magicant NPCs who don't animate/only have one frame. You can even see that they lack direction sprites in-game as if you talk to the hospital witch from the side, she doesn't turn to face you like the normal Witch NPCs do.

The relevant part is that there's no "normal" Blue Witch, only the "Shopkeeper Witch" is ever blue. So technically column 4, row 3 is wrong, the Blue Witch -- and only the Blue Witch -- lacks those walking and directional sprites. (There's also a red Shopkeeper Witch to the right of the hospital, but unlike the Blue Shopkeeper Witch, the regular Witch NPC does actually appear in red so she does have a full set of sprites)

I'm not sure why they did that, but it might be that they copied the generic Witch as a placeholder for the Witch Shopkeeper but for whatever reason didn't end up changing it as originally planned. At first I thought maybe each NPC was limited to only two palette variants, but the Magicant NPC wearing a bag over their head comes in three different colours so it's not that.

I created SNES versions of all characters, and I think they look good!

@Watcher that comment was made before I updated the sheet. The previous version missing more than half of the NPC's.

This is missing a few other NPCS, like Flying Man, and Queen Mary.
