We then got screenwriter Brian Lynch confirming on Twitter exactly what the movies imply: that
12.2 Billion Minion deaths each day...
To put that into perspective: That's 141.479 deaths per second, and at this rate it takes about 16 hours to kill all humanity.
Minions are physically invincible and immortal. In the film Minions, when Stuart, Bob and Kevin were tortured on the rack, their bodies were able to stretch easily; throughout all three films, they've been hit by various objects on their bodies, got their head stuck in a jar, and etc., without any ill effect.
Minions live forever; Their birth was at the dawn of time, as lots of people know.
As they are trained, the Minions are shown to be indestructible, taking on the impact of a chair, hollow blocks, and even a metal vault without exhibiting pain. It has already been established in previous Despicable Me movies that the Minions are invincible and immortal.

They're depicted as existing as far back as “the beginning of time”, surviving millions of years before Despicable Me even took place. We then got screenwriter Brian Lynch confirming on Twitter exactly what the movies imply: that minions are immortal, and they cannot die.
The creator of the Minions explained the reason behind the lack of females in their population back in 2015 – and it's not what you might think. Talking to The Wrap, Pierre Coffin said, "Seeing how dumb and stupid they often are, I just couldn't imagine Minions being girls."
What kind of language do the Minions speak? The Minions speak Minionese, sometimes called “the Banana language”. Minionese is what's known as a constructed language – or “conlang”. Conlangs are often a feature of works of fantasy and science fiction.
Minions are a species of tiny yellow henchmen; they look like unusually dressed Mike and Ike candies. They're earnestly driven by the desire to serve an evil boss, though they often screw up because they're selfish, easily distracted, and generally inept.
When the Minions are injected with PX-41, they turn into Evil Minions and are planned to be stuffed into rockets that will land in various cities such as New York, Paris, Tokyo, Hoboken, and Moscow.
Melee Minions are spawned in each wave. On the Twisted Treeline map they give 29 gold, and the value increases by 1 gold after the 1st wave and another 1 gold every 5 minutes after that. On Summoners Rift, they give 20 gold on death in the first wave.
They are depicted as being roughly one-third to one-half the height of humans but they were later revealed to be 3 feet 7 inches (1.1 m) tall. They have one or two eyes, and their irises are almost always brown (except for Bob, who has one green and one brown eye).
Though there are several hundred minions, there are only about forty-eight possible combinations of height and build (short and chubby, medium, tall and thin), hair (tall buzz-cut, short buzz-cut, sprout, combed, bald), and eyes (one, two).
Gru — who conjures up a plan to shrink and steal the moon — adopts three girls from a local orphanage, but it takes him way too long to figure out how to properly treat them.
Felonious Gru, or Felonius Gru, referred to simply as Gru, is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Despicable Me film series. Voiced by American actor Steve Carell, he has appeared in all five films in the series.
Gru adopts them, returns them, and takes them again. He writes a kid's book for them to express his grief at returning them and to declare his permanent love for them. We are given good insight into Gru's development into a villain.
According to evolutionary biologist JV Chamary, the Minions probably had to have reproduced sexually. Why? Science says that the Minions' genetic diversity wouldn't be possible if they reproduced asexually, so they had to have gotten busy in some way or another.
3 interesting facts about Bob from the Minions. Bob has heterochromia which means he has two different eye colours. He's also the smallest and youngest Minion.
The Minions originate from the animated movie franchise, Despicable Me. The Minion Yellow represents warmth, optimism and joy which is in conscience with the personality of the characters in the animated movies.
The Purple Minions, or Evil Minions, are the secondary antagonists of Illumination's 4th feature film Despicable Me 2. They were Gru's minions after being abducted by El Macho who turn them into purple monsters with the PX-41 serum for his global domination. They were voiced by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud.
Kevin, Stuart, Bob and the other minions were born to serve an evil master. When they find themselves alone in an icy cave without anyone to serve, the minions get depressed.
