The Witch's experiment is a shapeshifting monster fought near the end of the Witch's Housequest. It has four forms that only use melee and must be fought consecutively: a level 19 skavid, a level 30 spider, a level 42 bear and a level 53 wolf, each of which are purple recolours of the respective monsters. Once you have defeated it, you may retrieve the ball.
The experiment is described by Nora T. Hagg in her diary, where it appears to have been akin to a pet for her, as she is both angered and sorrowed at the loss of her precious 'Fritz'.
It can be fought in the Nightmare Zone after the quest is complete. On both the normal and hard mode difficulty in the minigame, the experiment uses an ability that reduces combat stats and deals a small amount of damage(Hard Mode); therefore, overload potions are recommended.

Trivia
Each of the experiment's forms are numbered. This doesn't apply to its skavid form however, which is simply referred to as 'Witch's experiment'.
While the quest is active, players can take on the experiment as many times as they wish. They simply have to leave and re-enter the shed and it will reappear.
