Students aren’t the only ones heading back to the classrooms this month – it’s back to business for monster hunters, as well, especially with Halloween only a few weeks away.
Which
is why we’ve dubbed September “Back to Ghoul”, featuring profiles on infamous
tools of the trade, whether you’re a beastie or a monster slayer.
This
week’s item is on every Evil Overlord’s wishlist: MINIONS – because we all
know, bad help is hard to find.
A
minion’s loyalty to his / her master is absolute, their willingness to
sacrifice themselves – a given. They are considered the red-shirt army of evil
doers. However, a minion is most valued for the unerring ability to confuse,
infiltrate, false inform, seduce, induce sympathy from, or just plain annoy the
“good guys” while the Evil Overlord makes a quick getaway.
As
a diversionary tactic – there’s no thing better. Where would Doctor
Frankenstein be without Igor? Dracula without the spider-eating Renfield?
Saruman without his orcs? Lord Voldemort sans Death Eaters? The Emperor without
Darth Vader?
And
we leave you with this prime example: Scrappy Doo.
