The Mirage

The Mirage is a muppet-looking mirage kinda guy who's probably a mirage.
== Biography ==
The Mirage first appeared as a character in a story recounted by The Commander in the episode Desert Space. Since The Commander confirmed that most of the story was untrue it was left unclear at the time whether The Mirage actually existed. In the story (shown visually through animated paper cut-outs drawn in colored pencil), The Mirage planted Space Tree in the desert with the intention of growing him into a Super Space Tree. 
The Mirage has a big, scruffy, purple head, green, ribbon like arms, a blue top featuring a red letter 'M' (for Mirage), and green pants that he wears over stump-like legs with no feet. He's generally presented as a villainous mischievous character, seizing and planting Space Tree in the desert, talking about killing the Commander and Allon, and possessing Space Tree with a Mirage Fairy.
You can see a bit of him in one of PinkFrosting88's slides in Frame Game, where he appears in the photo of the Space Dolphin and Freely McWheely from Trumpet Shenanigans, except The Mirage is where The Stem was in that episode. Out of frame, the Space Dolphin is saying "*gasp* It's... THE mirage!".
His existence was confirmed in episode 39 Cannibalize This where he's seen by Allon on an asteroid (although Allon was under the influence of mind-altering drugs at the time). He was about to kill The Commander and Allon, but after they started fighting he decided to stay out of it. He presented his own alternate ending in an easter egg at the end of the episode, because he thought the original one was even more retarded than himself. 
In the episode Phil, The Mirage appears in a "deleted scene" in which a small fairy-like creature emerges from his abdomen and flies into Space Tree's mouth, apparently possessing him.
