Lead monkey

The lead monkey is a male monkey. He is the leader of a troop of monkeys in the jungle.
When a crocodile named Riptail prevented the lead monkey and his troop from crossing the river, the lead monkey appealed to Simba for help. Together, the monkey troop and Simba's gang trapped Riptail in vines, and the monkeys were able to drink from the river. However, Riptail broke free, and Simba was forced to trap him beneath a fallen log. To negotiate his escape, Riptail agreed to help the lead monkey and his troop cross the river.
==Biography==
===Early life===
The lead monkey lived in the jungle, where he served as the leader of a troop of monkeys. He often struggled to keep his comrades safe from an antagonistic crocodile named Riptail.
===Alliance with Simba===
After Timon nearly died at the jaws of Riptail, the lead monkey explained how Riptail had been haunting the river for a very long time, which had prevented the lead monkey's troop from crossing to the more abundant side of the river. He noticed Simba, a fit young lion, and asked him for help. Simba agreed to the task.
As the plan to defeat Riptail went underway, Simba sent the monkey troop to collect vines, with Timon and Pumbaa serving as the directors of operations. The monkeys soon returned to the river and weaved the vines into lassos to capture Riptail. Under Simba's orders, they climbed a tall tree and threw their vines around Riptail's snout and tail, which subdued him. After tethering the crocodile to a tree, the monkeys raced to the river and drank their fill.
While the animals were distracted, Riptail broke free, and Simba was forced to trap him underneath a fallen log. The two negotiated, and with the monkeys' help, Simba freed the crocodile. Riptail then helped the lead monkey and his troop cross the river safely.
