Hungrige Pumpe (Hungry pump) is a witch in Puella Magi Kazumi Magica. She is the witch that attacked the Pleiades Saints before they became magical girls. She appears in chapter 11. Her witch kiss was placed on everyone since they all wanted to take their own lives. Kazumi met them for the first time while rescuing them from it. Kazumi forces them to fight with guns she gives them and tells them if they want to really die then they can by the witch. The girls work together to defeat the witch with Kazumi delivering the finishing blow and saving the girls in the process. It resembles a large eel-like creature with a bonnet-like jellyfish on its head.

Trivia

  • The witch initially appeared as a swarm of familiar-like creatures, which then fused together into a single being, much like Mirai Wakaba's La Bestia attack.
  • The eel-like part of the witch deflates and shrivels up when shot by the Pleiades. The jellyfish on top then re-inflates it like a balloon, possibly as part of a symbiotic relationship.
  • Her barrier resembles a beach, with several toriis standing in the water and coral.
  • It is vaguely reminiscent of the description of the second witch that appeared in Drama CD 3.
  • In Volume 3's design notes, the witch is described as reminiscent of colony-type lifeforms such as coral and jellyfish. It's unclear whether a bunch of familiars join together to form the witch, or if the witch breaks apart into familiar-like things. Because her body is a colony, she can be hurt if one part of her is killed, but she cannot be destroyed unless the entire colony is wiped out at once.
  • The witch is named in Volume 3's design notes. Its name roughly means 'Hungry Pump' in German.
  • With her cute appearance turning into a monstrous worm-like one, one could say that Hungrige Pumpe is the Kazumi Magica version of Charlotte.
