Maleficent's goons

Maleficent's Goons are horrendous creatures. While Aqua explores Enchanted Dominion, they are seen to guard their mistress's castle with their lives. Using arrows and other weapons to attack, their appearances coordinate strongly with the film.

Appearance
In the Disney film, various versions of Maleficent's minions appear. Some have porcine heads and an overweight body, while some have the faces of vultures and a frail, thin body.

Origin
Maleficent's Goons made their debut in Disney's Sleeping Beauty, searching nearby lands for Aurora under Maleficent's command after she disappears when Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather sneak her into the woods. They often disappoint her due to their incompetence, which results in them facing her anger. They remain loyal to Maleficent and help her capture Prince Philip and later to stop the latter, along with the three good fairies as they escape Maleficent's castle atop the Forbidden Mountain.
