Now who's the monkey in the middle?


— Metarex Kingape, "Desperately Seeking Sonic"

The Metarex Kingape (メタレックス・キングエイプ Metarekkusu Kingueipu?) is a character that appear in the anime series Sonic X. He was, despite his name, a monkey-like Metarex subordinate.[1]

History[]

Anime[]

Metarex Saga[]

The Metarex Kingape was dispatched to steal the Planet Egg of a jungle-covered planet. He was escorted away from the planet by Metarex Carrer, only to run into the Blue Typhoon. After Carrer was shot down and he was forced back to the planet's surface, Kingape set out to face his foes by laying traps for them. This resulted in a number of encounters with Amy Rose, Cosmo, Cream the Rabbit, and Cheese before all four were attacked by Dr. Eggman. Upon the doctor's defeat, Sonic's friends angrily confronted Kingape, who begged for mercy and pretended to apologize. He then saw that Sonic had the green Chaos Emerald and ran up to him to try and snatch it while his guard was down, but Sonic easily evaded him. Kingape was then destroyed by the heroes.[2]

Personality[]

Kingape is a rather cowardly Metarex. Despite his cowardice, he is clever and sneaky. Since he is a weak fighter, he prefers to set traps for his enemies rather than fight them. He acts very smug when he has the upper hand, and enjoys gloating to his enemies. He is also willing to use dirty tricks. For example, when Sonic and his friends had him cornered, he begged for mercy and pretended to surrender, only to run towards Sonic and try to snatch the green Chaos Emerald from him while his guard was down. Kingape is loyal to Dark Oak and the Metarex commanders and is a determined individual. Kingape is devious and mischievous, claiming that he was programmed for monkey business. Kingape also acts quite goofy and hyperactive, such as dancing around clapping his hands when the girls fell into one of his traps and hooting like a monkey.[2]

Powers and abilities[]

Kingape is skilled at creating jungle-style traps, such as a deep pit covered with a blanket of grass, an invisible snare net, and a wooden cage. Kingape is also capable of flight, and can as well leap great heights and distances. Despite claiming to not be built for battle, Kingape also possesses impressive durability, able to withstand a fall to a jungle planet from space and two strikes from Amy’s Piko Piko Hammer.
