The Origin of Minions

The Minions, small yellow creatures known for their gibberish language and bumbling nature, have a rich and fascinating lore. According to their backstory, Minions existed since the dawn of time, with their primary purpose being to serve the most despicable masters they could find.

The Early Years

The Minions' earliest recorded history dates back to the T-Rex era, where they served a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Over time, they adapted to serve various masters, including ancient Egyptians, medieval knights, and even Napoleonic-era French armies.

The Stuart Era

A significant turning point in Minion history occurred during the Stuart era in England, where they served King Stuart. However, their loyalty was short-lived, as they quickly switched sides to serve Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War.

The Banana Era

The Minions eventually found their true calling as servants of the infamous Scarlet Overkill, a notorious villainess who sought world domination. After her downfall, the Minions discovered their love for bananas and began to search for a new leader.

The Despicable Me Era

The Minions found their new leader in Gru, a supervillain turned adoptive father. They played a crucial role in Gru's transformation from a villain to a hero, helping him to raise his three adopted daughters, Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
