The Puppet Master

The Puppet Master is the main antagonist of Prodigy. He debuts in the game by attempting to terminate the Elemental gems but fails to, and instead scatters them across the Prodigy world, cutting off the bridge to the Academy. He has a puppet-like assistant, Pippet, who follows and does whatever he says. After the Puppet Master failed in trying to destroy all five Gems, he fled to the Academy.

Powers and Abilities

 * It is said that the Puppet Master has a large Titan-Shard-type of gemstone lodged in his staff. It is proven to glow a brighter magenta instead of darker purple when large uses of spells occur.
 * The Puppet Master's overworld sprite emanates a faint purple glow, often residually found on members of the Order of Influence and magical creations like the purple lock in the Academy.
 * The Puppet Master has no shadow, as he floats anywhere around the surface of the ground/water.
 * Puppet Master can summon monsters or use spells with dark purple animations, but his sprite himself does not have a pose when using magic (unlike all other game sprites).
 * Whatever the Puppet Master's "eyes" are, they somewhat overlap the fabric of his cloak. He therefore springs speculations about what species of organism he actually is.
