Munki-Gu is a minor antagonist in the Disney Jr. television series PJ Masks. As a mischievous monkey, he has been trapped in a stone for a thousand years and first appeared in the Season 4 episode "PJ Party Mountain."
History[]
A thousand years ago, Munki-Gu was turned into a stone statue for being too naughty. The statue was kept among other relics on Mystery Mountain. His flying boots were taken from him and locked in a small cage.
In "PJ Party Mountain," Night Ninja got his hands on the statue and used it to impersonate An Yu. Due to his tampering with the statue, Munki-Gu regained some form of consciousness, and became able to move around on his own despite being a statue. An Yu called the PJ Masks to Mystery Mountain to help her capture the statue. Instead, Gekko ended up accidentally freeing Munki-Gu completely by patting the statue on the head three times.
Gekko tried to teach Munki-Gu to behave, but to no avail. When Munki-Gu's actions angered the mountain, he agreed to help Gekko calm the mountain down again by dancing, but tricked Gekko into giving him back his flying boots (which he claimed were dancing shoes). After the mountain was calmed down, Munki-Gu used his flying boots to escape from the mountain and into the city, which Catboy and Owlette were hold a grudge against Gekko at the next night.
