Minion

"I do not know if he was rendered mute by the Brotherhood's work or is simply keeping his secrets, but I have no doubt a wealth of knowledge is hidden in his bestial brain. Someday, I must find a way to extract it... even if the brain must come with it."

- "The Shadowed One", Dark Hunters

''"Minion"' is the result of a Brotherhood of Makuta Rahi experiment. He later fled the Brotherhood, and joined the Dark Hunters.

Biography
"Minion" was created during one of the Brotherhood's experiments with Rahi and spent a lot of his time with Makuta Teridax and other members of the Brotherhood. During the course of the experiments, "Minion" gained sapience, and paid attention to what was going on around him, though nobody noticed his newfound intelligence. He escaped the Brotherhood during the rebellion of the Toa Hagah. From there he went to Odina and joined the Dark Hunters, and has not spoken a word since. "The Shadowed One" has tried to extract information from him, but to no avail. He plans to extract the information by any means possible and until he succeeds, "Minion" has been ordered to remain close to "The Shadowed One". When the Toa Nuva invaded Odina, "Minion" was the first to spot them. However, he was encased in Ice by Kopaka before he could attack them. When Teridax was killed while in control of the Matoran Universe, the Dark Hunters, including "Mimic", emigrated to Spherus Magna.

Abilities & Traits
Through the experiments, "Minion" can sense if there are any Makuta close to him, making him an effective guard against sneak attacks from the Brotherhood. "The Shadowed One" tries to keep him close by, in case he begins to talk, so as to learn the Brotherhood secrets Minion is suspected of keeping.

Tools
"Minion" has impenetrable armor and razor-sharp claws to decimate his opponents.
