A Minion is an Egyptian myth unit in Age of Mythology. Unlike regular myth units, Minions are not trained at the Temple. Instead they can be created in one of two ways - by Nephthys' god power, Ancestors, or by a Mummy's special attack.
Minions normally have a lifespan of 1 minute. The Atef Crown technology doubles this to 2 minutes for Minions created by Mummies.
