Endora is Samantha Stephens's meddlesome mother. Endora loathes mortals, and disapproves of Darrin, as do many of she and Samantha's relatives. Endora refuses to even use Darrin's name, alternatively calling him "Durwood," "What's-his-name," "Darwin," "Dum-Dum," etc.., all much to his annoyance. She refers to him as "Darrin" only eight times during the entire series.
