The book is written to work if you're using that mook rule or if you're not using it. Who is a "mook" is really up to you. We even give specific advice about the mook rule with the Dinomen, who come in hordes. But who is a mook depends on the GM and the players. Generally, if you need to use them in hordes just to threaten the PCs a little bit, they're mooks. But it's still an optional rule, and you see above that I don't quite use it as written myself.
