Humming Bombers

Velvet

The **Humming Bombers** are an aerial mute pack that live on the surface.

## Appearance

Mimicking old school WW2 fighter pilots, these birds wear classic shearling-lined leather B-3 jackets that accommodate their wings along with pilot-appropriate helmets, goggles, and aviator sunglasses. The Humming Bombers most prominent feature are the bandoliers they wear, which hold their special explosive nectar grenades.

## Organization

The Humming Bombers are a nomadic group of Mutes that dominate the skies and do not hesitate on going out with a bang with their nectar grenades.

## History

### Twin Beaks

The Humming Bombers are seen along with other mutes waiting for Scarlemagne to come.

### Mute-Eat-Mute World

When Benson is following Wolf, he passes through a broken down ice cream Truck and accidentally makes it play music. This draws the attention of the Humming Bombers, and they land on the spot to check for Kipo Oak.

When Kipo Oak and her friends are surrounded by mutes, the Humming Bombers are present as well. Jamack appears and puts ropes around Kipo and her friends, claiming that he has made them his prisoners. The other mutes start laughing at him, including the Humming Bombers.

After Jamack puts Mega Bunny baby fur on the other mutes, the Mega Bunny mom bursts out of the ground beneath. The Humming Bombers continue trying to get their hands on Kipo Oak. Jamack cleverly makes them crash into each other. This results in the nectar bombs falling out of the Humming Bomber's bandoliers, leading to a massive explosion.

### Beyond the Valley of the Dogs

In the scene where Scarlemagne is watching Kipo Oak and her friends enter the back-up burrow, two members of the Humming Bombers are seen next to him.

### The Ballad of Brunchington Beach

Two Humming Bombers are seen dining at Brunchington Beach.

### Fun Gus Part I

Mutes of different kinds arrive at Scarlemagne's palace to update him on what they have on Kipo.

## Trivia

* In Mute-Eat-Mute World, what sounds to be an instrumental remix of Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" (used in the 1986 action film 'Top Gun') is heard when the Humming Bombers "notice" Benson and Wolf.
* In the episode Mute-Eat-Mute World where the members were laughing at Jamack, the tall and blue mute in the back falls off the tree and then flies back up.
* At least one of the Humming Bombers (Easy) reverted to a normal hummingbird after Emilia's ambush on Kipo's party in the finale.
* The Humming Bombers are sometimes shown with tiny teeth in their beaks, something real Hummingbirds lack. It is more than likely they gained teeth as a result of their mutation.
* Sometimes, their teeth are colored pink. It is possible their teeth get this color when they drink their nectar bombs, which also seem to serve as their food source.
