Mutant Enemy Productions is the production company created in 1997 by Joss Whedon to produce Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The company also produced the television show Angel, and also Firefly, a short-lived space Western.
The name "Mutant Enemy" is taken from the song "And You And I" by prog rock band Yes, of whom Whedon is a confessed fan.
The company's end-of-credits logo is an intentionally poorly animated demon cartoon figure crossing the screen from right to left and saying, "Grrr. Argghh." It was voiced by Whedon himself. However, there are certain episodes of Buffy in which the animation was changed:
- "Becoming Part 2" - the demon says "Oooh I need a hug" instead of his usual line.
- "Amends" - He wears a santa hat and there are jingling bells in the background.
- "Graduation Day part 2"- the demon is wearing a graduation cap.
- "Once More, With Feeling" - He sings the line.
- "Storyteller" - He sings "We are as Gods" which is a line from the episode.
- "Chosen" - He turns and pulls a face at the viewer.
