What is a contagonist?

A contagonist is a specific character archetype in storytelling that hinders the protagonist by tempting them toward the wrong path or distracting them, without being the main antagonist; they might even share the protagonist's overall goal but disagree on how to achieve it, creating internal conflict and internal character arcs, like a "devil on the shoulder". Unlike a traditional antagonist (like Voldemort), a contagonist isn't necessarily evil, but rather a force of temptation or misdirection that makes the hero question their choices, often leading to deeper thematic exploration, as seen with Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z.
