Bumbler Twenty-One

Bumbler Twenty-Four is a bee who was transformed into a Pit Goliath, until your Wizard found him in Mutation Chamber B and freed him of the Shadow Web using some True Essence in the quest Open Doors. He needs help saving his best friend, Korki aka Bumbler Twenty-One.

Bumbler Twenty-One is surprised to discover his friend Bumbler Twenty-Four is not dead. Both BUmblers head over to the monarch, Queen Sabine to apply for jobs as her henchmen.

Bumbler Twenty-Four

Henchman 21 (real name: Gary Fischer) is a henchman of The Monarch and a major recurring character on The Venture Bros. As confirmed by his fellow henchmen, he is actually Henchman 1 as of Season 4, due to becoming a competent fighter.

Henchman 24 was a henchman for The Monarch on The Venture Bros. and a close companion with Henchman 21 until his death.

The Venture Bros. is an American adult animated action comedy television series created by Chris McCulloch (also known as “Jackson Publick”) and Doc Hammer for Cartoon Network’s late night programming block Adult Swim.
