Minions

The Minions are small, yellow, pill-shaped humanized creatures that have one or two eyes. A rambunctious bunch of simple-minded beings, The Minions are a similar size and shape, but have unique features to tell them apart, such as height, number of eyes, or roundness. They choose to express themselves through actions, not words, their "language" is fairly basic, they speak in strange jabber, except for the odd human word every now and again and occasional Spanish words like "Para tú," they don't speak. At least, not in words human's can understand. Their existance as made beings is noted by the final schematics in the little girls' room. It is however unknown how they came to be and who made them. One of the shorts in the DVD suggests they are made from a single strand of mutated DNA. The minions wear metal goggles accommodating to how many eyes they have, blue overalls with Gru's symbol on the front, and black gloves. Sometimes, they play with Margo, Edith and Agnes, as in the toilet paper fight scene.

They are official mascots for Illumination Entertainment.
