Igor (fictional character)

Igor, or sometimes Ygor, is a stock character assistant to many types of Gothic villains, such as Count Dracula or Dr. Victor Frankenstein, familiar from many horror movies and horror movie parodies. Although Dr. Frankenstein had a hunchback assistant in the 1931 film Frankenstein, his name was Fritz. However, in the original Mary Shelley novel, Dr. Frankenstein has no lab assistant nor does a character named Igor appear.
