November 11, 2025: RRabbit42 adopted the Illumination Wiki. All non-Despicable Me content like Hop and Migration will be moved there.

August 17, 2025: Two wikis have been created where you can create your own Minion and take part in giving names to Minions seen in the movies, short films, et cetera, that don't have an official name yet. Visit the Fanmade Minions and/or Leybrum's Minions wikis.

Trivia

  • It was first released in 7.6.0 version on December 22, 2020. It was originally named Doctor, however in version 8.0.0 it changed to Doctor Carl. Being an one-eyed Minion, it was reported that it couldn't have been Dave but either Carl, Mel or Stuart but Carl's hairstyle matched better, so Gameloft renamed it to Doctor Carl to clarify any misunderstandings. The costume was renamed to "Doctor" once again in the Unity update.
  • Unlike other Ability-charge costumes in the Gru's Lair version, Doctor was the only costume that the increased duration of its power-up (upon upgrade) didn't affect the frequency of its use, for example in missions that required the use of said costume's ability a number of times, because the shield could break once the minion hits an obstacle, resetting the ability-charge meter.
  • In the Unity update (12.0.0) the costume was remodeled. Like most other remodeled Carl costumes, he is now taller.
