Mr. Monkey-Boy[1] is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom series. He is an anthropomorphic and mystical marmoset monkey on Seaside Island and a retired curse-breaker.
Appearance
An anthropomorphic marmoset monkey, Monkey Boy is half a head shorter than Sticks the Badger. He has black fur, blue eyes, and tan skin around his face and ears. He also has white bushy eyebrows and belly, and streaks of white fur on top of his head and his cheeks (the former resembles a mohawk and the latter resemble sideburns). His most noticeable feature is his white-tipped tail which is shaped like a "W". For attire, he wears a pair of glasses with bamboo frames on his forehead, a bronze bracelet near the base of his left arm, white gloves and green boots with green cuffs.
History
TV series
Past
Born to a pair of hippies, Monkey-Boy was given his hyphenated last name by his parents, which was considered trendy at the time. While his brother pursued a carrier in dermatology, Monkey-Boy became a curse-breaker. However, because his unique characteristics fitted the legends, people kept bothering him to break the "Curse of the Cross Eyed Moose". Eventually having enough for the rest of life, Monkey-Boy decided to retire.[1]
Season one
One day, Team Sonic arrived at his home to break the "Curse of the Cross Eyed Moose." Monkey-Boy initially refused until Sticks the Badger begged him into complying and gave them "tasks" to prove their worthiness, which involved making guacamole and doing his laundry. Meanwhile, Eggman came to get Monkey-Boy to work for him to expand his nefarious activities, only to sic his Badniks on him when he refused. When Team Sonic returned, Monkey-Boy made a deal with them: he would remove the curse if the team got rid of Eggman. Once the team fulfilled their part of the bargain, Monkey-Boy nonchalantly broke the curse.[1]
Monkey-Boy would later come to the Robot Battle Royale, where he saw Eggman steal Tails' Hypnobot at the end.[2]
Personality
Monkey-Boy is grumpy, short-tempered, openly sarcastic and somewhat insular. Being constantly bothered by nincompoops seeking him to break curses has left him with a deep resentment for his former profession. He thus prefers to stay away from his former job and treats clients who coax him out of retirement with an indifferent and nonchalant attitude. He comes off as somewhat annoying and ungrateful, constantly complaining and criticizing others, even after being saved from mortal peril. However, he is not unreasonable, as he was ultimately grateful to Team Sonic for saving his life and kept his promise to remove their curse despite the mess they caused.[1]
Powers and abilities
By his own account, Monkey-Boy has much experience in breaking curses, including the "Curse of the Cross Eyed Moose".[1]
