In Mission: Earth, viewers learn that he is very lonely and desires company; he happily plays with the captured Noah in "No Space Like Home" - much to Maximus' chagrin - and many ending sketches depict him as being friends with Sparky. Also, in one sketch, he claims his full name is Minimus Von Petty Underling. The name is Dutch (or so he says). Despite having been claimed to be feline-looking, his design makes him more chimp-like in appearance, especially when (during the episode Strange Case of Minimus-Hyde) his head was stuck in grumbler mode, he transformed into a giant, hulking, ape-like beast.
