Like, MitD's species is good at reading people's wishes and fullfilling them, with magic.
Thats why he seems like super prey to the big game hunters, an oddity to the circus visitors, a friend to the goblin children, a powerful monster to Redcload and Xykon, a formidable foe to Miko, and again a desperately needed friend to O chul.
Later, a powerful beast to Oona, and someone who understands her problems with being a not really appreciated goblin subspecies.
Also, he kinda understood Tsukikos desires...

Maybe thats just high empathy, but looking at some scenes he seems to become what people wish for/need or expect.

Note the words in the escape scene. He says "you NEED to escape"

If only Djinn werent so umderpowered in D&D
Yep. It’s part of the reason the Glabrezu has held on decently well despite being a little underpowered and an embodiment of Chaotic Evil. Granting people wishes is it’s thing, overlooking the small problem of it expecting the wish to used for an evil purpose.

Just speculating, the IFC has never commented on MitD, right? Because saving V, at least, would certainly have advanced their obscure, but certainly Evil, goals.
