So in a recent arena game i encountered a strange interaction involving The Darkness, Unleash the Hounds, and Spreading Plague. My opponent played The Darkness early on, thus occupying one of his spots with a dormant minion. Unleash the Hounds recognized this, and created a hound for the enemy minions including The Darkness, which was still dormant. However, on the following turn my opponent played Spreading Plague, which did not recognize The Darkness as a minion, and created an extra beetle despite having an equal number of minions with the dormant Darkness included.
Is this a bug or is the wording on the cards different enough that this is the proper function?
The Darkness is a very unique card so there are questionable interactions with it. (E.g. Glinda doesn't give it echo because on paper it is a minion but the game handles it as a dormant/permanent thing like the Warlock Quest reward)

Not a bug, Spreading Plague always creates at least one Scarab Beetle.

Hmm... this needs some research! Dormant minions should not be in the game in any other ways than the printet effect and occupying boardspace.
The "adjecant minion(s)" and "have X minion(s)" interactions are all clean, right?
