"Grouped" characters...?

Any ideas on how to create characters who are 'grouped' in a similar style to the Men of Low Moral Fiber (Pirates) in MI 1 & 2?

I want to include two men locked in a never-ending fist fight, and when hovered over, the action bar should describe them as "Gentlemen Embroiled in Altercation"...

Do you build a hotspot over them or is there a better solution?

The most obvious solution is to create them as a single sprite and a single object (as long as they're just going to be standing there fighting, and not walking around or anything like that, there's no need for them to be implemented as characters). If you need them to animate independently, I believe you can simply give them the same display name and hook up their interactions to the same functions, so that it makes no difference if you click on one or the other.
