Most Minions appear either bald or with a few wispy strands of black hair on their heads. They are also shown without ears but can hear and respond to sounds. They have no discernible noses but seem capable of smelling, as they are shown smelling fruit and are affected by the Fart Gun.

There appears to be no other difference between the two types beyond the number and color of eyes, and their height. They have three fingers and toes per hand and foot, respectively. They have one or two eyes, and their irises are almost always brown (except for Bob, who has one green and one brown eye).

They are depicted as being roughly one-third to one-half the height of humans but they were later revealed to be 3 feet 7 inches (1.1 m) tall.

The Minions are small, yellow capsule-shaped creatures with round gray glasses. They were created by Eric Guillon, Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud. Many other Minions are mentioned by name in the films and other media in the franchise. Kevin, Stuart, and Bob are three of the most familiar minions, who appear as stars in the film Minions (2015) and its sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022). The Minions serve as the official mascots for Illumination, and have also been described by The New York Times as 'corporate icons' for Comcast in the years since their 2013 purchase of Illumination's parent company NBCUniversal similar to Mickey Mouse for The Walt Disney Company, Bugs Bunny for Warner Bros., Woody Woodpecker for Universal Pictures, SpongeBob SquarePants for Paramount Global or Mario for Nintendo. They are characterized by their childlike behavior and their language, which is largely unintelligible. Minions ( / ˈ m ɪ n j ə n z/) are an all-male species of fictional yellow creatures that appear in Illumination's Despicable Me franchise.
