Henchmen

The Henchmen (or Thugs) are antagonists in JumpStart Adventures 5th Grade: Jo Hammet, Kid Detective.

They are gray-skinned thugs who've been brainwashed and controlled by Dr. X. Their purple wigs are actually Dr. X's octopuses. These octopuses enable them to communicate with each other telepathically. They carry away Martin in the game's intro. The player must read their telepathic conversations in The Sabotaged Site activity. They can also be seen attempting to catch Jo while on her way to a destination; if they are successful, the player will be required to play The Dungeon activity to escape.
