"Hello. This is the red ball of energy that guest-stars in this story as the physical manifestation of Mandragora. And I would like to complain against typecasting. I only ever get to appear as malevolent balls of hate. Does anyone ever give me parts in romantic comedies? Disney movies? I'd settle for war movies if I got to play a good guy occasionally. Typecasting is terrible."
