Any significantly advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.

How dare you project your limited idea of what a wizard hat is on Marvin!

I think he just has a small very dark coloured head. He’s not just eyes in shadow in a hood, he has a round head… it’s just black.

They’re not wizards, but did Jawas from Star Wars establish the aesthetic?

Seems like Jawas were the first in ~1977. The fandom wiki says that LucasArts sued Neil Young for having Jawa-like creatures on stage in 1978.

Jawas didn’t wear the wizard hat. Same reason Marvin doesn’t fit.

Looking at the picture above, hoods seem to count. If not, then half of them don’t apply to the rule.

Shout-out to my fellow 1980s kids who played the first Final Fantasy and named their Black Mage character “ORKO” because it just felt right.
