'''The Monkey King''', also called '''This Big Monkey''' by [[Zsasha]], is a character that only appears in ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]''.

== {{Icon|Tower}} Appearance ==
The Monkey King is a large monkey, about 10 times the size of a [[Raposa]]. He is very lanky and is covered in thick brown fur. He has what mimics a goatee made of darker brown hair. He has a purple crown with a banana shaped tassle, and what seems to be a set of rings that spell out "REX" on his left hand. His right hand rests on a golden staff.

== {{Icon|Book}} Story==
After [[Jowee]] and the [[Hero]] restore [[Isaac's Door]], [[Mari]] appears to tell them that something was stolen from [[Farmer Brown]]. When Jowee and the Hero arrive at Farmer Brown's [[Banya Farm|farm]], they see that all of the [[Banya]] had been stolen. Jowee notices tracks in the ground that don't belong to a [[Raposa]], but rather those of a [[Monkey]]. The two then return to [[Jangala]] to find the Banya.

When the two return from [[Jangala Outpost]] with the Banya template, Mari questions why monkeys would be causing mischief, as they have a pact with the Monkey King. Farmer Brown then suggests that Jowee and the Hero go talk to him. [[Circi]] then appears and asks where the group would find the Monkey King. Jowee suggests that they talk to [[Pirate Beard]], as he has been everywhere and would know.

Pirate Beard laments the fact that he's lost the location of the Monkey King, as the map with its location went over [[Jangala Falls]], along with his ship. Jowee and the Hero then suggest that they go to the falls to find the map. After returning from Jangala Falls with his map, Pirate Beard shows the two a secret path to [[Treetop Village]], the home of the Monkey King. Jowee begins to question whether or not the Monkey King would want visitors after not being seen for years, but Pirate Beard reassures them that if they treat the King with respect, then they will be fine or made into stew.

The two then go to see Mari who tells them that Circi is re-examining the clues thus far, and wishes that [[Mike]] were available to help with one of his machines, but he is apparently out on business. She then tells Jowee and the Hero that she hopes the Monkey King will have the answers they are looking for.

Before the Monkey King allows Jowee and the Hero to see him however, he demands three fruit offerings, a [[Lemon]], a [[Banana]], and a [[Pineapple]]. The Hero draws these three objects and enters the Monkey Kings Throne Room. When Jowee and the Hero enter the Throne Room, they notice that [[Zsasha]] was with the Monkey King the whole time, proving his innocence in the robberies around [[Rapoville]]. Zsasha cries out for a rescue.

The Monkey King argues that he was protecting Zsasha from the [[Shadow Walker|Bad Inkies]] that were invading the Throne Room, and he wouldn't let him leave until they were gone. With that, the Hero climbs up the Throne Room, taking out the Shadow Walkers as he climbed. When they get to the top, the Monkey King explains that the Walkers had invaded for the [[Crystal Mask]], and so the Monkey King gives it to the Hero. He also releases Zsasha to the Hero, and invites them to come back anytime.

When Jowee, Zsasha, and the Hero return to the village, Zsasha explains to Mari that the Monkey King was trying to protect the mask from a "shadowy person" who was trying to steal it. After hearing this, Mari and Jowee believe that [[Wilfre]] has returned, and lock up the mask. They then speak to Circi and decide that they have to go into [[Shadow City]] to see if Wilfre had truly returned.

=={{Icon|Question}}Trivia==
*Despite the [[Raposa]] and the [[Monkey|Monkeys]] having a pact, the [[Hero]] can still defeat Monkeys in [[Jangala Falls]] and [[Treetop Village]].
**The Monkey King never brings this up, and seems to have no problem with the Hero or the Raposa after this.
*It is unknown why the Monkey King wears rings spelling out "REX".
**This may be his name, but this is merely speculation.
**Rex is also the Latin word for "King", so this may just be a reference to his title.
*The Monkey King is listed as an enemy in the games files.
**This may indicate that he was supposed to be [[Jangala]]'s boss at one point. This was confirmed in multiple Game Design Documents shared by [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) Credits|Ken Capelli]].
*During production of the game, the Monkey King was originally called the Tree King.
