Donkey Kong is an intelligent ape from an island that shares his name, Donkey Kong Island. Donkey Kong, or DK as he’s sometimes known, is usually a laid back creature content to relax on his island with his friends and families. However, if he, his friends, or his possessions are ever threatened, DK uses his might to go after his foes, even if it requires him to travel across the land. Drawing the ire of DK is never recommended. In combat, DK is known to toss his enemies aside with his great strength or, sometimes, use his powerful punches to send his enemies flying. When he’s not napping or chasing after his foes, Donkey Kong partakes in parties, plays sports, or even has friendly tussles with his friends.

That’s it for this week! If you end up introducing DK into your game or you have any request for a future Monstrous Physique, please drop me a line at KnowDirection@hotmail.com.
