Corplets (Also known as Keiths, or Minions) are common enemies found throughout Yooka-Laylee, mainly in the main hub, Hivory Towers. Corplets serve part as Capital B's "employees", and were artificially created by Dr. Quack, along with every other Corplets Species.

Specifically, the main Corplet species have five different variations appearing in the, with a total of six different variations. These Corplet variations share the same behavior with each other, only differing in appearances.

There are more Corplet creations, but they appear as completely different creatures, such as bees, jellyfish, or even as giant orange grunts.

Corplets may wear a military hat with a Sergeant symbol on it, indicating that they are the leader of the other Corplets around them. These Sergeant Corplets have two health, compared to the normal one health Corplets. When all nearby Sergeant Corplets are defeated, all normal Corplets will shudder in fear and staying in place which makes them open to attack.

Corplets appear early in the game in Shipwreck Creek, guarding the Hivory Towers Entrance area. They often appear in groups, usually with one or more Sergeant Corplets.

Corplets also appear as enemies in the Overworld of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.

Charge After spotting the player, they will yell with their hands in the air, and then charge at the player, damaging the player if they make contact. However, this ability can be countered by any offensive ability.
Run Away At random, a Corplet can make distance between them and the player by running a few feet away.
Cower If all nearby Sergeant Corplets are defeated, all nearby normal Corplets will cower in fear for a few seconds. This disables their ability to move or use any other ability, completely exposing them to direct hits.

Trivia[]

  • In early development of the game, Corplets were referred to as "Keith Minions".
    • In a DKVine Twitch stream of the Toybox+, Playtonic Games joined the Twitch chat, and a user named ThePurpleDragun asked "@PlaytonicGames, are the minions still named Keith?". Playtonic Games responded "@ThePurpleDragun Corplets."[3]
  • In the coding, they are referred to as the "BaddieSquad".
  • "There's a one in 20 chance the leader of a group of enemies will have a pair of pants for a head" - Andy Robinson.
    • In actuality, what this means is that when a Corplet Sergeant spawns, there is a one in twenty chance that instead of wearing the standard Sergeant's hat, it will be wearing a pair of shorts on top of its head, like the Naked Snowman from Glitterglaze Glacier.
