The Minions

The Minions are a fictional all-male species of yellow creatures that appear in Illumination's Despicable Me franchise. They are characterized by their childlike behavior and their language, which is largely unintelligible.
== Basic Information ==
The movie Minions (2015) tells the story of the Minions' development through the ages, as they serve and remain loyal to the most evil and wicked masters. However, their masters keep disappearing — from the Tyrannosaurus rex to Napoleon. Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, three standout Minions, decide to embark on a journey to find a new master to save their kind. They meet Scarlet Overkill and face numerous chaotic situations, ultimately defeating her in her plot to steal Queen Elizabeth II’s crown. In the final scene, the Minions meet a young Gru, who would later become their true master.
== Archetypes ==
=== Big Ol' Eyes/Spectacles ===
Minions either have one or two large, round eyes. They wear silver-rimmed goggles over their eyes, which are a signature feature.
=== Chaoslord/Viont ===
While one Minion can create mischief on its own, a group of Minions working together multiplies the chaos exponentially. Sometimes, they even use tools and devices that they have created themselves, often leading to chaos and unintended harm. These devices are usually not dangerous but create humorous situations.
=== Controversial ===
While many people believe that the Minions are simply yellow creatures designed for children, others disagree. Since minions are practically everywhere, particularly in ads, they have attracted an internet hatedom, with many people annoyed by the widespread visibility and merchandising of these yellow characters, which is why r/Minionhate was established on June 5th, 2015.https://www.reddit.com/r/MinionHate/ 
=== Creacher/Stubby ===
Minions are fictional, yellow, capsule-shaped creatures. While their exact origins are not fully detailed in the movies, they are depicted as an ancient species that has existed for millions of years.
=== Distinctive Laugh ===
The Minions often laugh out loud, creating a lighthearted and fun atmosphere that matches their carefree personalities.
=== Distinctive Voice/Distinctive Speech Patterns ===
The Minions speak in a mix of gibberish and various languages, known as "Minionese". Even though it doesn’t make literal sense, their highly expressive way of speaking is amusing and easy to understand without needing subtitles or dialogue.
=== Quotable Catchphrase(s) ===
* Bello! (Hello!).
* Banana! (Expression of excitement or desire for bananas).
* Me want banana! (I want a banana!).
* Gelato! (Ice cream!).

=== Ensemble Darkhorse ===
Appearing as supporting characters in the film Despicable Me (2010), they became globally famous thanks to their memorable design, humorous and silly actions. This led to their own standalone movie titled Minions (2015), further solidifying their fame.
=== Huggable/Smol ===
With their small, yellow, and rounded bodies, and big, expressive eyes, Minions have a very adorable appearance that makes them seem like they are perfect for hugging.
=== Stress Ball ===
Self-explanatory.
