|noun=marionette
|look=A prim, somewhat tattered, dress covers the form of the small marionette, the skirt frayed into a mess of black fabric.  Beady black onyx eyes and a narrow crooked jaw frame the witch's lurid green face, while a rather large wart tips her craggy nose.  Tiny lettering beneath the brim of a black hat perched on top of the head details a brief inscription.  Given a free hand, you think you can PUSH, PULL, TURN, POKE, TAP, RUB, CLEAN, POINT, WAVE, BREAK or SCREAM at the little puppet to make it perform.
