Minions are small,yellow,cylindrical,creatures who have one or two eyes and are one of the most notable characters in the films.They are also known as the "scene-stealer" of the movie.
They are fiercely loyal to Gru and Dr.Nefario and extremely eager to please,willingly helping with any evil plans,but at the same time they are friendly and fun-loving.Despite being relatively simple-minded,they are capable of building weapons,operating those weapons,using computers,and even driving.
Minions communicate in their own language,but somehow they can understand English.They also have several English names such as Dave,Stuart and Kevin.
