Contest #7: Make-a-Minion

Category: Contest #7, Contests, Monday Contest AnnouncementsGabriel @ 12:02 am

We’ve all seen the part in The Wizard of Oz in which the wicked witch sends her flying monkeys to apprehend Dorothy and her companions (a similar scene is in the modern retelling of the story, Wicked). If you’re anything like me, you thought to yourself “Dang, an army of winged monkey minions would be super useful.” However, are monkeys with wings really the best option?

This week’s contest is to invent your own minion. You get to take one animal and imagine that you can add a body part from another animal. The goal is to end up with a hybrid that you think would make up a good army to do your bidding. The body part you add can be a substitute for the original animal’s parts or it can be just in addition to the animal’s regular parts.

Your answer, which should be left in our Contest Entries section, should describe your animal and detail why you think they’d be good minions for you.

For this contest, standard contest timeline and contest rules apply. By leaving an entry you are agreeing to those rules. The entry voted the favorite by MM users will earn its author a $25 Amazon.com Gift Certificate AND a 4-pack of Screaming Slingshot Flying Monkeys.


Contest Summary:

What you have to do: Tell us about your perfect minion by imagining one animal with a body part added from another animal. Tell us why these hybrids would be a good army of wicked servants for you.
How to enter: Write your answer in the Contest Entries section.
Deadline: Friday, August 15th at 5pm EST
Prize: A $25 Amazon.com Gift Certificate & a 4-pack of Screaming Slingshot Flying Monkeys.

Announcement: This contest is closed. Feel free to continue to leave your answers here, but you’ll be doing so strictly for our edification. Why don’t you check out the latest update or contest?

    Things you might want to consider in selecting your minions…

    * Size/mobility/agility
    * Ability to work in groups
    * Ability to intimidate those who would dare to oppose your evil schemes

    I’d have humans with self-interest removed. They’d be subservient, but intelligent and, most important of all, able to blend in.
    If I can still add something, they’d have supercomputers installed.

    Hippopotami with kangaroo legs, so I could be able to crush my enemies. With several of these minions I could actually blackmail the world with massive earthquakes and just live from “protection” money for the rest of my life.

    How about a velocirapter that spits cobra venom. Fast, fearless and,

    appropriate size and you come up with a perfect killing machine.

    Leopards with the ability to spit down their prey with water (like archer fish).
    They could outrun anybody, intimidate people with their sharp claws, and, when all else failed, knock them down with super accurate water spurts from their mouths.

    I would want an army of baby elephants with fuzzy white bunny tails. The good guys are always suckers for cute stuff. I figure these would distract them while I did whatever dirty work I had to do. Plus, in a real jam, they could still trample the enemy; even though they’re babies they’re still like 300 pounds.

    This is easy.

    My minions would be an army of teddy bear hamsters with jaguar claws. Hamsters can squeeze under doors and through cracks that no vertebrate creature should be able to squeeze through. Plus, if they are trapped in a cage by the enemy, they will easily be able to escape by climbing the water bottle and pushing open the screen. And the jaguar claws… well, the jaguar claws are for ripping and tearing and maiming. You get the idea.

    All hail the powerful teddy bear hamster army!

    KANGAROO with added WINGS:
    -perfect aerodynamic shape for flying (pointy little head, expanded rear end, tail for steering)
    -has pouch to carry weapons, tools, or James Bond type gadgets
    -has arms and “fingers” to use said gadgets
    -when on land can jump/run quickly through rough terrain
    -can use strong tail and hind legs to punch and hit
    -capable of intimidation with bad temperments and mean facial expressions
    -also capable of being cute and cuddley, to confuse the enemy
    -big enough to pack a punch but not so big that they couldn’t fly
    -and they hang out in groups that are called “mobs”… really!

    I agree this is very simple indeed.

    Here’s my minion. Cheetah for the body and the head of the T-Rex. Now, the head may be slightly non-symmetrical, but isn’t that scary enough. I think most things would fear both animals. They’re both really quite terrifying. The cheetah may be small but it’s speed is amazing which would indeed help the rather large, and slow moving T-Rex.

    I would take a large chicken - reinforced it with the highest quality aluminum foil available in the marketplace, then on top of that, create special goggles (or just really, really small sun glasses) in the event it flies too close to the sun. Yes, the sun.

    Rather, let’s make that a hawk as opposed to a chicken as hawks actually fly, but a chicken will work as well - just on the ground. The chicken will not need the sun glasses though - perhaps some aquatic gear? “Hawk” will definitely need the sun glasses; I meant anti-sun/radiation goggles.

    I am a psychotherapist and need a minion that will combat depression and anxiety in my clients. A cat with a parrot’s beak would be a pet that is cuddly but also talks (and jokes)!! Great company for people who are lonely and entertainment for those who need a good laugh.

    Qualities:

    Determination–Willingness to do whatever it takes to bring your plans
    to fruition i.e. ability to resist the Baby Zombie Apocalypse.

    Cuteness–Must have the irresistible cheeks of a baby and the tight tush
    of a chiseled-rock hard man. No one can resist your minion and it
    easily lulls one’s enemies into a false since of security.

    Bizarreness–Nothing gives a minion the edge like confusing the hell out
    of the enemy.

    Multiple Appendages–Vastly improves multitasking abilities up to and
    not limited too making its master the most delicious of all pancakes.

    Ability to Reproduce–Nothing says indestructible army like one that can
    clone itself by asexual regeneration. Don’t ask don’t tell.

    Strength and Flexibility–The power of an Olympian and the flexibility
    of a newborn is a must.

    Mental Dexterity–Your minions must have the intelligence of a full
    grown man and the ability to absorb knowledge like a baby.

    I present to you the Man/Baby Tenacity 1000 (see the winner of the Mental
    Magma’s Contest #4). The most advanced minion/henchmen available on
    the market.

    My minions would be tigers with a scorpion stinger. It would be the size of a draft horse. The only way to avoid being attacked by them from behind would be to wear a mask on the back of your head. Only a specific mask would work, which I would copyright. I would also make them disposable and fragile, allowing me to gain control of a large fortune, and funding my extensive breeding project.

    It took you a whole day to decide that the idea sucked? What, did you run through the woods pretending to be chased and decide that evading my minion would be too easy? Or did you try to breed a scorpion and house cat and decide that a tiger would never go for it? =)

    Garrett reply on August 12th, 2008 11:13 pm:

    But how hard would it be to notice that a draft horse-sized mutant tiger was coming up behind you?

    Tigers are masters of sneaky attacks from behind. I am hoping that size doesn’t affect it too much, but, I let you know. Now, if I can just get this scorpion a little closer to this tiger. Besides your minions won’t care if they get eaten anyway.

    Don’t despair, I am sure you can program them to evade attacks with the supercomputers. Although, they’d better be really lightweight computers.

    vlad reply on August 14th, 2008 10:27 am:

    Ah, you’ve forced my hand, Buny Slippers. I will now tell you
    the complete, scientific reality of dinosaurs. Summer, 1971,
    while working on a demolition crew, I come upon some documents,
    including drawings of a time machine, written by Manny Velikovsky
    and Nick Tesla. Apparently they had spent spring break together
    in the cabin that I was demolishing. Utilizing an old entertainment
    center, some old roofing tin, and an alarm clock that I found at
    the landfill, I proceeded to construct the time machine described
    in the found documents. With a magic marker, I replaced the numbers
    on the clock face with numbers representing millions of years in
    increments of 10 million. Anticipating that I might be exposed to
    unfamiliar diseases or catch cold from exposure to the winds of
    time, I drank half a bottle of Nyquil and took one each of the
    pills in my medicine cabinet, and also a couple of pills that I
    found in a baggie on the side of the road in a bad neighborhood.
    You can never be too cautious. I set the alarm clock to 71 million
    years ago [the approximate mid point of the Dinoscene era for all
    you liberal arts majors] and got in. The journey through time was
    apparently too much for me and I seem to have passed out. When I
    regained consciousness, I exited the time machine and looked
    around. To my surprised, the world looked exactly the same as it
    had in 1971. No dinosaurs, no volcanos, everything exactly the
    same except that the atmosphere seemed to have a purplish hue.
    So, Bunny Slippers, if that’s even your real name, there were no
    dinosaurs. The “fossils” that they find are really props from
    ancient TV shows.

    I’d have obedient cockroaches with hands. What they couldn’t achieve through power, they could achieve through fear as all other minions would be cowering and trying to make some other minion go and kill them. Plus, there would be more of them than even they knew.

    The only drawback would be that I wouldn’t want them in my lair.

    My minion would be a giant perigrine falcon with the head of a nile crocodile. The perigrine falcon’s mastery is in it’s ability to divebomb it’s prey. Imagine being divebombed by a nile croc’s head with a bite force of 2500 lbs. These would be some serious damage-dealing minions who are also agile enough to get in and out of wherever. Wouldn’t be difficult to travel with. They could also swoop down in groups and pick up these tethers that would lift my chariot up and out across my empire striking terror in the hearts of those who would oppose me.

    HA! I can tell YOU haven’t flown the friendly skies recently! I guess your minion could use that bite force to bully his way through the security checks. Of course if you’re still flying in a chariot I suppose Wilbur and Wright haven’t invented the airplane yet and your minion could ride shotgun.

    How about sexy women with the vocal chords of fish. Who needs to take over the world when you have hundreds of hotties whose sole purpose is to make you happy. Oh, and fish don’t have vocal chords, I just wanted to eliminate the nagging.

    What if you had an army of sheep with chinchilla fur instead of wool? Bear with me. Every Friday you could sheer them, take it all down to your basement, and just roll around in it. Oh my God that would be soft!

    This is just the funniest, most bizarre answer! You’ve got my vote if you can answer a few questions:

    1) Only Fridays? Could I do it on a Thursday or a Monday?
    2) Why do I have to take the fur to the basement?
    3) What if I don’t have a basement?

    To my enemies I’ll say, “You’d better back off or next Friday I’m gonna kill ya with my basement full of fur!”

    1) You could sheer them any day you wanted to. However, when you’re rolling around in chinchilla fur, a couple of days can go by without you noticing. I recommend Friday so you have to whole weekend to satisfy your fluffy needs.

    2 & 3) I would take it to the basement (or equivalently secluded place) because I’d imagine you would want some privacy while indulging in your soft pleasures. People who haven’t rolled in it themselves might not understand, and they’d think you were stupid because of your incessant giggling. Of course you don’t have to do this. You could take it out in public and let everyone try. Actually, doing it in groups would probably be a lot of fun and help strengthen relationships.

    You say you’d have enemies, but when you’ve got a basement full of chinchilla fur, I don’t think that would be possible because everyone would want to be your friend. :)

    An army of 4 foot long cockroaches that had acid for blood that only I could control.

    “Dead-makers”

    My army would be a bunch of oversized (I’m talking- as big as a baseball) horse flies, with the teeth and feeding frenzy of piranhas.

    Even if they didn’t drive you crazy with their incessant buzzing, they would very painfully devour you in a few seconds. Since they are a swarm of small fast moving creatures, they can’t be easily shot down or otherwise destroyed. Also, everyone will know they are coming and run in fear when the sky darkens and they can’t hear their favorite Rick Astley song on their iPod over the noise of my creature’s wings.

    Just as Mr. paper thought that he had everything covered when scissors
    showed up, your plan has one glaring flaw. Instead of spending
    money on an iPod and Rick Astley [I don't know who that is]downloads
    some of us purchased military surplus m23H1 flamethrowers. Nothing
    like the smell of burning bug wings in the morning.

    The navy could definetly use a pack of venom
    spitting Michael Phelpses. The last thing a
    battleship will expect to see are human beings
    swimming towards them unarmed. They’ll think
    they’re coming to negotiate or surrender and
    when they try to take them prisoner…
    bull’s eye!

    A pack of super cute puppies with mind control pharamones. You release them into a major city, little kids pick them up and bring them home and by the end of the day you have an army of puppy loving zombies willing to do your bidding.

    I’ve got an awesome idea! Giraffes with monkey arms (or human). Giraffes only sleep about 30 minutes a day (look it up) and primate hands allow them to use a mouse and keyboard. They could sit around on ebay all day and “do my bidding.”
