Minion
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
A minion is an undead servant created by a necromancer skill. A minion has a fixed amount of health and damage, which seems to be linked to the level of the necromancer, and will stay alive until damage destroys it which allows it to be re-summoned. Removing the skill from the skill bar destroys the minion as well.
When a skill to summon a minion is activated, it is replaced by another skill in sequence. These follow-up skills enhance minion's attacks or destroy the minion to cause additional effect. This also limits summoning of minions of unique type to a certain amount, in most cases just one. Known exceptions to this are Bone Minions skill, which summons a pair of minions of same type, and jagged horrors, which can be summoned by a variety of skills and effects and are limited to total of eight.
Unlike similar skills in the original Guild Wars, no exploitable corpse is required to summon a minion.
