Samulacra
From Sam & Max Wiki
The Samulacra or Dogglegangers, as Max refers to them, are a seemingly infinite amount of clones of Sam created in the Cloning Chamber by Charlie Ho-Tep appearing in the last three episodes of Season Three (being key antagonists in Beyond the Alley of the Dolls).
[edit] Character Detail
Charlie uses the Samulacra to steal any and all Toys of Power in the city, and possibly the world, for the Devil's Toybox. While many in number, the Samulacra are no more intelligent than zombies and behave as such. Since they were just instructed to steal "Toys", they go after any toy they can find. However, they do retain some sort of ability to sense the real toys of power when they are nearby; though this radius can vary.
Charlie seems to control the Samulacra through the microphone on the control panel in the underground clone facility, which makes whatever the user speak into it sound like Charlie talking in a strange tongue; however, Charlie also seems to control them through English, so it is never truly explained if he needs the control panel or not.
They first appear at the end of They Stole Max's Brain!, surrounding Max. They then appear chasing Sam and Max (as well as General Skun-ka'pe). Eventually, they reach Stinky's Diner. Sam and Max find the Cloning Chamber for these clones, which is seemingly endless. It is unknown if it is endless or not. They also later appeared at Sal's new job.
While channeling Junior at the Statue of Liberty, Charlie tells Sam that he cloned Sam for two reasons: One, because he needed an army of a thousand thralls to sacrifice for Junior's return and Two, because Sam is the "Ultimate Straight Man", almost like he "Was born to take orders".
Despite being little more than zombies, the clones seem to display a small amount of emotion and personality. One even going so far as to take Sam's hat for a good portion of the game. Displaying happiness at having it and a feeling of loss/sadness upon Sam taking it back. Considering they are clones of Sam, they also take liking to the things he likes. Sam is able to (at least temporarily) distract one with a Fudgie Freeze ice cream bar, stating "Hope you guys love these as much as I do." One clone becomes fond of a stuffed white, rabbit plush, hugging it to his chest and then proceeding to carry it with him.
In The City That Dares Not Sleep, Sam is able to use the Astral Projector in Giant Max's brain to possess the bodies of remaining Samulacra, provided they are in a location that Max has memorized. These locations include General Skun-ka'pe's Flagship, the Cloning Chamber. It is currently unknown what will happen to the remaining clones, as there are supposedly thousands roaming the city.
