In general, Henchman is shown to be intelligent, gentle, and down-to-earth. Henchman is a sincerely affable demon who genuinely cares about the Devil and even looks out for his fellow demons, such as saving King Dice from the Devil's literal fiery temper and giving the invisible sweater to Stickler so the Devil can't hurt him, despite disliking him like his boss does. Most notably, he realises immediately when the Devil has reached his rage-breaking point when Cuphead insults him one too many times in the second season's finale. Though the first impression he leaves is one of the stereotypical dopey flunky, he later proves to be very emotionally intelligent and quick enough on the draw to keep up with the Devil's mood swinging tendencies and fiery temper. In both of the aforementioned episodes, it is implied that he is good at giving advice, often giving the Devil ideas that work (or can work) to his benefit. Henchman always stays by the Devil's side, no matter how scary and violent he can be and even sheds a tear of pride and joy when the Devil is inspired by him to go out and do some evil deeds again in " The Devil's Pitchfork". The Devil trusts him enough to admit to him that he failed to get Cuphead's soul at the beginning of " Sweater Luck Next Time" and let him treat his injuries at the end of the same episode. However, this is downplayed as he does still encourage the Devil to cause mischief around the Inkwell Isles when the latter is feeling down and excitedly asks the Devil for details once he's returned from his rampage. When Mugman is taken by the Devil, rather than show malicious joy like his boss, he instead looks horrified and perhaps even empathetic for Cuphead, showing how he knew Cuphead pushed his luck too much and, unlike his boss, didn't want anything bad to happen. In "Sweater Off Dead", he's briefly seen wearing a party hat.ĭespite being a demon and the Devil's primary assistant, Henchman doesn't seem to have a malicious bone in his body and seems to mostly concern himself with cheering the Devil up or, at least, keeping him from incinerating too many demons. Clothed or not, he goes barefoot throughout the episodes. While Henchman is essentially naked, he is briefly seen wearing a tailcoat identical to King Dice's near the end of "Roll the Dice". Henchman has slightly different colours than an in-game Fat Demon: His face is white, while his horns, wing-webs, and gloves are all yellow.

All Fat Demons have yellow eyes with red pupils. They have long beaky noses, a pair of short thin horns, small wings from their humps, elephant hoof-like feet, pointy devil tails, and slightly loose gloves. Fat Demons are large, heavyset devils colored in brilliant purple.
