Not so much one individual as an entire clan of individuals from Uberwald, who are a parody of the archetypal hunchbacked servants of monsters and mad scientists.

* [[A Storm Is Coming]]: Igors can tell this. Since so many of them work for mad scientists, it's a useful skill.
* [[Creepy Good]]: They are (usually) good guys, but tend to creep out a lot of people, due to their [[Mix-and-Match Man]] prowess.
* [[Door Judo]]: An Igor will always open the door right before a visitor knocks.
Line 1,209 ⟶ 1,208:
* [[If You Die, I Call Your Stuff]]: The price for accepting an Igor's medical assistance is to serve as an organ donor after death so that the Igors can use any intact organs to help someone else down the line. You're free to refuse, and if you do the Igors will quietly and politely never serve you or your family again. Igors do this with their own organs as well, with young Igors implanting organs from their ancestors into their bodies.
** If an Igor says he has his grandfather's eyes (or nose, or hands, or whatever), he means it literally.
* [[The Igor]]: Of course.
* [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals]]/[[Planet of Steves]]: It's hard to tell Igors apart if you haven't memorized the visible scar patterns. The fact that they're all named Igor (Igorina for the girls) doesn't help. Despite this, Igors instinctively know which Igor you're talking about when you mention an Igor to them.
* [[The Medic]]: Igors are ''very'' good at organ transplants.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Igors serve their masters loyally... right up until the angry mob arrives. (Hey, nobody put being burned at the stake in the contract, all right?)
* [[Speech Impediment]]: All Igors lisp. It's tradition.
** What's interesting about this is that Igors are capable of speaking without a lisp. They just do it because it's expected of them.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: An Igor will always appear behind his master when called for, even if there's no possible way for them to do this without being noticed. Some masters have done extensive tests.
* [[A Storm Is Coming]]: Igors can tell this. Since so many of them work for mad scientists, it's a useful skill.
* [[The Igor]]: Of course.
* [[The Medic]]: Igors are ''very'' good at organ transplants.
