"Bert is that giant shrimp petting that giant fish?"

"I'll be damn glad when we retire Abner. Things just ain't the same anymore as when we started."

Goby Minions are an odd species of fish living in a symbiotic relationship with Giant Pistol Shrimp. The Shrimp builds and excavates a burrow, and the Goby (which has much better vision) maintains guard and warns it of danger so they can both hide. Although good lord knows what the combo has to hide from. Krakens maybe. Goby Minions are oddly somewhat trainable, and many would be evil madmen keep them as warning systems.

Enhanced Sight (Ex): Goby Minions can see normally in clear water, and 2d8x10 ft. in murky water.

Combat: Gobies hate fighting and prefer to hide in their shared burrows. If necessary they will bite and usually flee unless their benefactor shrimp is threatened.

Loyal For A Fish
"You are aware Statute 12 of the Guild of Evil Minions states that Minions are not allowed Minions of their own?"

"That only applies to intelligent Minions."

"I'd double check that with an attorney if I were you."


Easily Trained

"What does ti do anyway?"

"Lookout and early warning system mostly. Occasionally a tag team partner."
