The Witches (魔女?) are primary antagonists featured in the Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica franchise. They tend to hide themselves into otherworlds known as Labyrinths alongside their Familiars. They drop Grief Seeds once defeated.

In episode 8, it is revealed that Witches are the end result of Magical Girls, once despair entirely overtakes their Soul Gem. The metamorphosis into a Witch releases a vast amount of energy, in violation of Thermodynamics. This is the motivation for Kyubey to create Magical Girls in the first place, to harvest energy to stave off the Heat Death of the universe.
