Minions, Whatsits & Unlikely Heroes
Two Supporting Characters Step Forward
Wormtoe and Grimblewaith begin beneath larger personalities, but their choices reveal two very different responses to being treated as disposable.

A rejected evil sidekick who becomes a Highway Patrol officer, phoenix seeker, and transformed rescuer.
Their earliest conflicts unfold inside the crisis surrounding the Beandom’s magic-bean harvest.
