Trivia

• A special Halloween-themed Minyan was released as a Mystery Gift for Halloween 2016. It has a unique sprite, 31 IVs in all stats, and the Mystery Gift-exclusive ability Speed Boost.

Design and inspiration

Minyan is based on vampire bats, with some feline features such as its tail. It is also based on mythological vampires.

Its title as "the tiny master of evil" could be a shout-out to Veigar, a character from League of Legends who shares the exact same title.

Name origin

Minyan seems to be a corruption of minion. It also contains nyan, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat's meowing.
