< Other Character Email Tampo | Characters

Every boss seems to control several little minions, which generally are nameless and disposable. Here are all the minions sorted by their controller.

Tampo's Minions

Tampo is currently seperated from his minions, and he can't control them right now. They are now under the command of the Boss Trio Reloaded against their will.

Jaros

Jaros are small, weak minions who bounce around. They have no arms or legs, and are built like a spring. They are loosely put together with rectangular-shaped pieces, and if they are hit too hard they will fall apart. The only Jaro of honorable mention is the one who got blasted into The Chibi's spaceship, destroying Tampo's first warehouse. They are "robot-type" minions and are preferred by Tampo.

Greggos

Greggos are larger and stronger than Jaros, but not by much. They can walk around with their legs, but they lack arms. They are "robot-type" minions and are preferred by Tampo.

Chorches

Chorches can fly and have two strong pinchers to grab stuff with, making them the strongest of the three "robot-type" minions. They are actually the only minions under Tampo's control with arms. As "robot-type" minions, they are also preferred by Tampo.

Brody's Minions

Brody is also currently seperated from his minions, and he can't control them right now. They are now under the command of the Boss Trio Reloaded against their will.

Terrells

Terrells are a species of chicken that was rescued from Stinkoman's kitchen by Brody when he escaped. They are the weakest of the three "chicken-type" minions preferred by Brody. They are just chicken heads who bounce around. They are almost completely useless.

Grundies

Grundies are another species of chicken rescued by Brody. They are stronger than Terrells and have legs. They are rather fast and wear running shoes, but they lack wings or arms. They are a "chicken-type" minion and are preferred by Brody.

Stobats

Stobats are a large, fat species of chicken. They were also rescued from Stinkoman's kitchen by Brody. They have no legs or feet, they walk around in a similar fashion to The Cheat. Unfortuately they are really slow, so they require transportation if they ever need to move at a decent pace. They can actually spit out bones, which they produce inside their bodies for just that purpose. Being the only minion with a long range attack, they are quite powerful, and they have formidable defense. Being a "chicken-type" minion, they are preferred by Brody.

The Master's Minions

Kolkaryus

Kolkaryus are flying UFO-like creatures. They have a red ball that partially sticks out of their bottom, and they can shoot bullets from it, making them a formiddable fighter. Their red ball glows whenever the speak or shoot. They talk in an extremely robotic voice. Tampo, Brody and Stlunko do not control any Kolkaryus, but the Master seems to own a few.

Saargtsson's Minions

Poorbts

Poorbts are the main workforce of the Lava Zone, mostly due to their hands, which all the other minions (and Saargtsson) lack. They are very strong and loyal to Saargtsson, and will do whatever jobs they are assigned well and without question. Although they have full capacity to talk and think, their personalities tend to be far from friendly.

Gaspeaus

Gaspeaus are blue flying blobs with tentacles. They are very playful and talk in a bubbly voice. They can do odd jobs around the Lava Zone, as they have trouble concetrating on anything too hard and boring. Although they live in the hot enviroment, they possess limited ice powers, but these are very rarely used.

The only notable Gaspeau is Stu, who appears to be the #1 Tampo Email fan in the Lava Zone, and possibly possess a fanclub.

Frotzers

Frotzers are similar to Gaspeaus in form, but they are red in color and possess limited heat-generating abilities. They generally are more friendly and behaved than Gaspeaus, and can concentrate on jobs better. Saargtsson tends to treat them as equal to their blue cousins, though.

Gokuls

Gokuls are the lowest of Saargtsson's minions. As throbbing red blobs without arms and legs, they are immobile, and require Poorbts for transport. They are virtually worthless in combat, but Saargtsson keeps them around because they secrete the best lava for recreation purposes. They enjoy electrifed rocky goop to eat, and will absorb it inside themselves when it is poured on them. Overeating will cause Gokuls to explode. They can't talk, but rather make squealing noises when happy and scared.

Pink Cham Chams

Pink Cham Chams used to be amoung the ranks of Saargtsson's minions, but some time ago were thought to have gone extinct. They are green blobs who have a biology and language very similar to that of the Gokul, although they sport twin metalic tubes that can emit laser beams. They taste like delicious coconut, and their flavor may have led to their assumed extinction.

By some miracle a Pink Cham Cham was found in the Lava Zone one day without explanation, and caused quite a stir. However he was then eaten by Brody, who found his taste extremely delicious. Unfortunately the Pink Cham Cham caused Brody to have some indigestion, and then Brody literally mutated into one.

NEB-1's Minions

Astromunds

Astromunds are NEB-1's main fighting force. They are shaped somewhat like humans and wield shields. Together they are quite powerful, but no match for Tampo and Brody's forces.

Liekand's Minions

Proteks

Proteks are electrical plug-like minions. Each have two faces, but they both do exactly the same thing. When they talk, their voices echo in a way, because one face lags behind, saying someone a second after the first. They are quite smart and can handle complicated equipment, so they help Liekand with the technical parts of his job. To move, they bounce around on a coil.

Stafulters

Stafulters resember electrical plugs without the cord. They can fly, but are not too smart and cannot talk. They can carry things with their three prongs. Liekand considers them nothing more than mindless tools.

An Ice Machine's Minions

Stothos

Yellow tank-shaped creatures who fight for An Ice Machine. They can charge and fire laser beams at opponents to fight, and can fire in all directions. Their shots are icy blue and will freeze whatever they hit to square.

Fullbides

Flying yellow shield-like minions who are loyal to An Ice Machine. To attack they simply charge into the enemy forces. Other than shoving opponents around, they lack any offensive attacks and serve primarily as a living shield for the other warriors in their army.

My Benjes

My Benjes are small yellow blobs native of icy habitats and domesticated by An Ice Machine. To feed, they latch onto pray and start externally sucking the nutrients out of them. This can also be used in combat, but is only effective against small gelatinous foes such as Gaspeaus, Frotzers and Gokuls. It will just tickle larger or harder opponents. Trying to suck nutreits from robots causes them to become electrocuted.

They are classified as bugs and are considered a delicacy by some foreign people. Brody disagrees, claiming they taste like "jello-y pee".
