Minion
Buff
Minions abandon combat without their leader.
Marks a secondary enemy that cannot hold the fight on its own. When the last primary enemy dies and only minions remain, the game kills them all automatically. A minion's own death never triggers Fatal effects, and the power is not stripped from it after death. It has no visual effect.

Notes
Carriers: Gas Bomb under the Living Fog in the Underdocks, Kin Follower in the Kin boss fight of the Overgrowth, Tough Egg from the Ovicopter in the Hive, the bots the Fabricator builds and the Torch Head Amalgam in the Queen fight, both in Glory. A hatching Tough Egg sheds every other power but keeps this one.
