The evil rat. It looks cute and harmless, right? The many Magical Girls it has made a contract with thought so too. Ostensibly out to stall the heat death of the universe, it does this in a way humans consider dickish. It finds emotionally vulnerable and volatile girls and grants them one wish and cool powers in exchange for fighting the embodiments of Despair for the rest of their lives, which are usually short. For you see, the Soul Gems that are the source of your power...Well, guess what they contain. And they corrupt if you use your magic. When they are corrupted completely, you are either turned into an embodiment of your despair or taken in by the Law of Cycles. Incubator encourages the former, and greed makes it unable to accept the latter despite significant suffering. In the end, one of its cattle rebelled, overloaded its mind with pure emotion, and made it her slave. ALL of them...
