I was looking at the website and when you go to click on the minifigures section
there is a minifigures that has a black wizard hat and a blue torso. I have been
looking for that torzo that is blue has a belt and has what it looks to be a
black ruff around its neck. If anyone could help me identify that torzo I would
appreciate it.

It has what appears to be a Dark Forestman collar on a regular Forestman torso.
I don't think it is a real piece.

I'm not the OP, but thanks for the answer! Would it be possible to mount
that collar on that torso, or is it not a separate part? Sorry for the uninformed
question, I've only recently gotten back into Lego with my son (I feel like
I'm enjoying that more than he does...), the last kit I bought and built
myself was a Star Wars Y-wing bomber, and that was at least 20 years ago.

Looks a little ruff around the edges. Also the belt is backwards.

How did this part come out to be blue? Is there a custom way you can make your
minifigures ?

The picture you refer to is not a photo, it is a digital render. So they could
make it any color they liked. For instance in Studio.

Back in the day Bricklink's graphics were all render based. Just stuff Dan
made, I assume. I think he was just playing around, some of the parts didn't
exist in those colours. I also recall a blue and a yellow torso with a Blacktron
1 print.

They made it into a real minifig (custom print or sticker) by the time it had
already become iconic from that render. So the minifig refers to the render,
instead of the other way around. Maybe that particular minifig is Dan's sig
fig.

There's another minifig in the picture that doesn't exist - the red torso
with the highway/Autobahn logo.
