Wondering if an Igor counts as a human or member of a separate species? See Talk:Discworld Stuff - Humanoids.

I'll repost Terry's comment here for clarity (saves a click, anyway ;) ):

I repeat: all Igors are human, male and female.  Igorism is cultural.
If the daughter of an Igor takes it into her head to marry a man who
does *not* have stitches all around his head, then that doesn't mean her
children will be half-Igor.  I imagine, though, that the Igorinas go in
rather less for the 'total makeover' look.

Leaving aside any 'informal' methods of acquisition, I'm pretty certain
I said somewhere that if an Igor helps you out, it's considered only
fair to allow him or another Igor to help themselves to any still-useful
bits upon your death.-

It's always confusing, but I think Igor #1, recently added, is the same as Igor at Don'tgonearthe Castle. Any opinions? --Old Dickens 21:50, 21 December 2007 (CET)

"Igor at the A-M Mint". Could be that I'm nitpicking, but isn't this Igor the one who lives in the cellars underneath the Royal Bank rather than the Mint? The one who assists Hubert Turvey with the Thing/Glooper, shows Moist the hitherto unregarded way in and out, transfers Owlswick's repungant essence (and artistic talent) into an unfortunate turnip, appreciates Marster's unhinged laugh, and eventually returns the gold to its rightful place? --AgProv 12:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
