	The Igor - Television Tropes & Idioms
		Igor is the sidekick and manservant to a Mad Scientist.
		Igor can't fight, usually, and if encountered by the hero in a combat situation, will high-tail it out along with his master, unless the master tries to sacrifice him to enhance his own chances.
		Literary example: Terry Pratchett's Discworld features an entire clan of these types, all named Igor (except the women, who are named Igorina), all with their own unique pattern of scars and deformities, and all of them incredibly skilled surgeons.

	Igor (Discworld) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Igor is a recurring set of characters in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of novels.
		The Igors are based partially upon Mary Shelley's Frankenstein's Monster, and partially upon the hunchbacked assistants in Universal and Hammer's film versions.
		The male members of the Igor clan traditionally lisp, are considered very good catches for any young lady, and their daughters tend to be very attractive ("Eyes on the same level, that sort of thing?" as Samuel Vimes once commented).

	Igor
		Igor or Egor is the traditional or cliché hunch-backed lab assistant to the mad scientist, familiar from many horror movies and horror movie parodies.
		The archetypal Igor, however, is probably the character of that name played by Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks's parody of Universal's Frankenstein movies.
		In Terry Pratchett's humourous fantasy novels, the Uberwald region of the Discworld (that is, the region of the Discworld noted for resembling a collection of horror movie clichés) is home to an extended family of hunch-backed lab assistants with speech disabilities, every single one of whom is named Igor.

	Igor (fictional character) at AllExperts
		Igor or Ygor is the traditional stock character or clichÃ© hunch-backed lab assistant to the mad scientist, familiar from many horror movies and horror movie parodies.
		Igor is a traditionalist and often schemes to convert his vegetarian master to a diet of blood, as was the case with Duckula's previous incarnations.
		Their similarity to the original Igor character is highlighted by the fact that one of them battles the player alongside Frankenstein's monster in the first installment of the series.

		The Igors themselves describe the system with the words: "What goeth around cometh around." They have a strange ability to be at your side when you call them, and at a door before you knock.
		The male members of the Igor clan traditionally lisp, are considered very good catches for any young lady, and their daughters tend to be very attractive ("Eyes on the same level, that sort of thing?" as Samuel Vimes once mentioned).
		Confusingly, the barman at Biers (a pub in Ankh-Morpork catering to the undead) is named Igor, but is not a member of the clan.

		That being said, this is another wonderful Discworld book, a notch on his belt that looks rather toothy.
		Igor, however, is the best character in the book.
		But Igor is a traditionalist, constantly referring to how the old "mathter" used to do things.

	Carpe Jugulum (Discworld S.) Book at Shop Ireland
		Carpe Jugulum, the 23rd Discworld novel by the ever-amusing Terry Pratchett, introduces vampires to the Disc.
		Having read the books out of order, and having already read all of the subsequent ones, vampires are old-hat to me. A couple of times, I had to consciously remember that this was the first and that some of the things I knew about them weren't true in this one.

		He passed a couple of cells, in which the night's drunks were resting peacefully, except for the one who was cursing profusely in dwarvish, a language perfectly designed for cursing.
		Igor's lab was at the far end, and Vimes clattered through the door.
		This Igor, however, was unusual because he sometimes forgot to lisp, sometimes walked without a limp, and was altogether a bit to keen on experimenting.

	Furocity - Igor von Igor MXXIV
		The sickly green hunch-backed equine you look upon is covered in scars and stitches, and some of his patches of fur and flesh look rather out of place, as if they were from a different furre alogether.
		His pitch-fl eyes are positioned unevenly, and all-in-all, Igor, son of Igor, brother of Igor and Igor, is not all that pleasant to look upon.
		Igor is based on the Igors from Terry Pratchet's 'Discworld' series, not on the Igor from Frankenstein.

	Hex (Discworld) Information
		By The Science of Discworld Hex was capable of "once and future computing"; increasing its abilities simply by deducing that the required processing power would exist eventually.
		By the time of The Science of Discworld II: The Globe Stibbons had hooked it up to the University's clacks tower, and it worked out all the codes, meaning the University can now use the clacks for free.
		Oddly, The Science of Discworld puts the name Hex in small capital letters, hex, that are the same type as when Death speaks.

	Discworld Carpe Jugulum Summary
		A very Igor, who seems surprised that everyone guesses that is his name, is their servant, but he prefers the old ways.
		The other witches assist granny as the hypnotic hold on them fades, and by Igor who even raises his old master vampire to teach the new upstarts how things should be.
		This is satire on the collision of traditional Dracula like Victorian vampire values and those of the modern slick and cynical humanistic vampires we see in Anne Rice and Buffy.

	Monstrous Regiment (Discworld S.) Book at Shop Ireland
		The Monstrous Regiment in question is made up of a vampire, a troll, Igor, a collection of misfits and a young woman who shoves a pair of socks down her pants to join the army.
		The story follows her fate as she marches on, away from her home, through a lot of mud and rain and, hopefully, on into the history books.
		I would normally read a Discworld book from cover to cover in a couple of days but this was like wading through treacle in wellies several sizes too big.

	Amazon.com: Carpe Jugulum: A Novel of Discworld: Books: Terry Pratchett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The plot is a version of an earlier Discworld novel, Lords and Ladies, with the predatory elves of that novel being replaced here by suave and deadly vampires, and the tiny kingdom of Lancre being defended by its witches.
		I love all of the Granny Weatherwax/Nanny Ogg Discworld novels, and even though "Carpe Jugulum" tackles some unusually serious themes (its vampires are truly evil, unlike the loveable, teetotalling Otto in "The Truth"), it is still vintage Pratchett and vintage Granny.
		This time out Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and the other witches of their coven must protect their homeland of Lancre from an incursion by a clan of vampires who have been training themselves to be immune to such things as garlic and religious icons (it's all psychosomatic, you see).

		The story, another in the Discworld saga, highlights the recruiting efforts of a small country chronically at war with its neighbors.
		This is, despite the Discworld fantasyland and its ludicrous conflicts, a serious book for serious people in serious times - and "no one has the right to be stupid." Questions remain at the end of the book and one wonders where Pratchett will go from here.
		Monstrous Regiment is recommended Discworld beginners or newcomers; fans will find some familiar territory and will broaden their horizons of the "mirror of worlds".

		Welcome to Discworld, where men are men, women are women and dwarfs are, um, dwarfs.
		Discworld, as those who have visited before know, rests on the back of four elephants, who, in turn, stand on the back of the giant turtle A'tuin as it travels through space.
		Overall, the humor is less manic than in some of the other Discworld novels, but it is present in subtle delicious waves, and it was especially great to find out more about Lady Sibyl.

		Igor, fussing and making various professional noises of concern, dealt with the scar first, which didn't want to stop bleeding; when he finally did stitch it up and apply some sort of thick, clear salve to it, Vimes moaned again, and his eyes opened.
		Igor, in his first days at the Yard, had taken a sledgehammer and some mortar and built a chimney up from the furthest room.
