Homo magica
Homo magica are a species of human that appears in Null Magical Girl. They are the next step in evolution for humanity, where all of the people are "magical". They rarely become witches because everyone is nice to eachother and because their many years of evolution have stripped away their insecurities. They are at war with magical girls from the planet of Terminus and other galaxies. They are colonizers of all of the galaxy and are close to taking over the whole universe. They are, despite their cute looks, highly aggressive towards anyone who is not a Homo magica.
Their reason for destroying planets and civilizations is for reproduction, as the Homo magica use clay from destroyed planets to reproduce asexually.
Appearance
The Homo magica most simply look like young girls. They are humanoids with various types of feminine hairstyles and clothing, not dissimilar from ones donned by Homo sapiens Magical Girls shown in other Madoka Magica media, but androgynous bodies. They are also significantly shorter than Kosane, an adult Homo sapiens, and have childlike, neotenous proportions. Their eyes have been likened to compound eyes of insects due to countless highlights.
All Homo magica shown in colored illustrations have pale skin and hair colors found in real-life humans such as blonde, ginger or brown, though it's not clear if this is a trait of this species as a whole, or merely a coincidence that all shown Homo magica share those traits.
They wield identical staves with a heart-shaped jewel at the tip. In chapter 1's text, it is implied that the jewel is pink for every member of the species[note 1], but in chapter 2's cover, multiple colors of jewels can be seen. Additionally, many of them appear to be wearing heart-shaped jewels on their clothes or in their hair, likely Soul Gems.
They are described as immensely, unnaturally cute, to the extent that regular Homo sapiens feel both immense positive emotions such as protectiveness, but also negative ones like unease, fear, extreme nausea and dizziness when looking at them.

Notes
- ↑ それは、ステッキだった。先端には、ハートマークがあり、ピカピカとピンク色で光っている。ショッピングモ—ルのオモチャコーナーにいけば、いつでもどこでも買うことができるょようなステッキ。
そうか……。わたしは、彼女たちの正体を知った。魔法少女だ。
They carry staffs, the kind with a shiny, pink heart at the tip—the kind you can buy at any toy store anytime.
So...I know what they are. They are Magical Girls.[unofficial tl.]
