Gold Held: None
Gender: Formerly Male
Skills:
Level 1: Attack – Attacks with a punch.
Level 4: Paralysis – The Igor stabs a syringe into its attacker causing it to crumble onto the floor temporarily paralysed and unable to attack.
Level 8: Harvest – When an enemy is paralysed, or better still dead, the Igor can harvest organs from it to restore its own health, or the health of compatible allies around.
---Naturally, if it harvests a weaker levelled enemy it has the chance of killing it as it’ll take something important like its heart, lungs or kidneys. From stronger enemies it’ll probably only get away with a small blood extraction.
Special Abilities:
Master Surgeon – This allows the Igor to begin creating abominations for you in the Laboratory. The higher his current level, the better he is at creating useful abominations and not mindless monsters.
Information:
Everyone knows what an Igor is. A hunched subordinate of a mad scientist usually with a lisp and a bum leg that he mostly drags.
But I like Igor’s. They must have a bigger brain than normal people, especially since they can stitch one together, so they have to be awesome.
Author's Note:
I’ve always liked Igor or should I say all Igor’s from every story he has ever been in. The lurching, hunched side kick to Dr Frankenstein who always seemed to have more going on in his head than he let on.
I’ve always been a firm believer that he, especially in the films with a Dr Frank and an Igor, was the real builder of the undead monsters often seen being made. Yes the Dr was the brains, but was I to believe that the scrawny looking white men portrayed in these films was capable of doing the cutting, hacking, chopping, attaching and sewing that was involved?!
And so the DK Igor was born. Obviously with came the Laboratory and the freakish creations. That Igor, he’s a one man Swiss army knife.
About the Igor:
Never will you have a more polite and happy creature. Igor is your mad scientist just without the mad part. He will happily take captured heroes apart and put them back together in wonderful combinations that often give you an abomination unit.
He gets better at this the higher in level he gets but the best thing about him is that he gains levels by actually working in his Laboratory, much like the Warlocks in their Library.
Behaviour in Dungeon:
Igor’s shuffle around your dungeon looking for potential experiments. They love to heal the injured and shine the brightest when tending to your wounded after battle. They rarely sleep but do like to eat sometimes.
Behaviour Outside of Dungeon:
When not in your Dungeon an Igor can be found picking on weaker enemies (creatures, heroes and neutrals) to drag back and use in its experiments. Although this may often lead to you having to protect it more times out of anything.
Behaviour in Battle:
In battle the Igor takes up the role of field surgeon, something the forces of evil have been missing. He can surgically heal any unit on the battlefield and will actually stay out of direct battle in order to better achieve his role.
He can also harvest the bodies of the fallen, even if they’re not dead, taking bits from them to either heal himself or his allies better, even going as far to revive allies that have been knocked unconsciousness.
Igor is probably the most helpful creature you will have in your ranks but he has to be watched carefully because even with his high recovery, high health and surgical abilities he is easily taken down in battle.
