Jamack (Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts)

Jamack is a well-dressed frog mute and former sub-division leader of the Mod Frogs.
== Appearance ==
Jamack is a green frog mute. Most of his body is covered in a green coloration while his underbelly and the space under his mouth is more of a lighter green. He also has a small pencil mustache.
Throughout the series, Jamack sports a white collared shirt with a black suit and a black tie to match. After Jamack is banished from the Mod Frogs, his tie is cut and from then on he is seen with a dirtied and ripped suit.
As of Season 2, Jamack's suit is now repaired, though his tie is still clipped.
== Personality ==
Despite being one of the many antagonists of Kipo's journey, Jamack is probably one of the more dynamic characters of the series. Though an adversary of Kipo and her friends, Jamack had found himself impressed with the cleverness of some of them and the feats that they were able to pull off (such as leading a Mega Bunny to the Mod Frogs headquarters as a diversion) multiple times. Additionally, Jamack is a very observant and learns from his actions, for example, in the episode Mute-Eat-Mute World, he uses Mega Bunny fur and places it on the Mutes he patted, similar to how Kipo put the same fur on Jamack in order to escape his grasp in Explosion Berries. After Mute-eat-Mute world, Jamack grows to be an "anti-hero". He can have a more sentimental side and is overjoyed when he finds out Kipo is safe, and throughout season 3 refers to Kipo as his friend, remaining willing to help her improve mute-human relations.
== History ==
=== Burrow Girl ===
When Kipo and Wolf go to Jamack's private office in order to locate Kipo's burrow, Jamack arrives and fights with Wolf until she throws ink on his shirt. Wolf uses a bottle of spot remover as leverage and the duo are able to escape Jamack. Later, Jamack returns with Kwat and Harris, two other Mod Frogs, upon realizing that Kipo is from a burrow. A chase ensues until Wolf knocks Jamack out with Stalky and runs with Kipo into an abandoned house with a mute grub, and the pair become trapped with the Mod Frogs right outside.
=== Explosion Berries ===
Jamack, dealing with some memory loss due to the hit with Stalky, checks a closet several times whilst searching for Kipo and Wolf. He and his gang then hear baby Dave. Just as they're about to enter the room Kipo, Wolf, Mandu, and Dave are in, Benson returns from his scavenging trip. Benson tricks the Mod Frogs into running away saying he has a disease called "Explosion Berries," a highly contagious disease that causes one to explode.
=== The Astronomers in Turtlenecks ===
After Jamack escapes the Mega Bunny mother, he returns to the Mod Frog's base and finds it a wreck. As punishment for his failure to capture Kipo, Mrs. Sartori snips Jamack's tie and kicks him out of the Mod Frogs.
During his banishment, Jamack aimlessly wanders Las Vistas. At one point, he hallucinates a flower as Kipo who says the last thing Kipo said to him, that he needs "to do some soul-searching" and out of rage, Jamack smashes the flower. Eventually, Jamack is captured by the Newton Wolves and tied up in their observatory.
During the time Jamack is imprisoned by the Newton Wolves, Kipo frees him before they have a chance to hunt him. Jamack doesn't understand why she would do this, but is grateful and flees ungracefully.
=== Mute-Eat-Mute World ===
While underground and away from all the chaos, Kipo reveals her innermost feelings about Wolf and how she reacted to Kipo being part-mute to Jamack, and they have a heart-felt moment that deepens Jamack's character. He shows empathy towards her and they connect for a brief period of time. Near the end of the episode, Jamack, rather than taking Kipo and her friends to Scarlemagne, releases them. But before they leave, Jamack solemnly expresses that to live on the surface, one has to be selfish to survive and that Kipo didn't understand how to do that. He goes on to tell her how it will eventually be her downfall.
=== The Ballad of Brunchington Beach ===
At some point, Jamack was captured at the restaurant Brunchington Beach and put on dish duty for trying to steal some food. He attacks Dave when he finds out that the latter brought Kipo, Wolf, and Benson to Brunchington due to humans getting tossed to Harriet, Cappuccino's pet. After Dave says Kipo changed his heart, Jamack attempts to deny it by claiming he just didn't want to see his sacrifice of not eating 'Teacakes' with Scarlemagne be wasted. Jamack and Dave then escape the kitchen and save Kipo, Benson, and Wolf from getting tossed to Harriet. After saving Kipo and Wolf from Harriet during Gerard's attack, Jamack goes with the Theaotters to teach them about Stage Fighting.
=== Everything is Crabs ===
Jamack and the Theaotters would later travel all over Las Vistas, doing a performance to tell mutes everywhere of Emilia's evil plan to cure all of them. During one of their performances in Cactus Town, Jamack and the Theaotters failed to convince the Umlaut Snäkes to join H.M.U.F.A. and were about to be eaten before getting attacked with nectar bombs by the Human Resistance.
Jamack and the Theaotters return to Timbercat Village to tell Kipo of what happened. He and the Theaotters assume that it was the Humming Bombers that attack them and report that Camille had been captured as well.
After Timbercat Village survives an attack from Mega Crabs, the Theaotters report to Kipo that Jamack has gone missing and show her a tranquilizer dart they found whilst searching for him. Jamack is later seen imprisoned along with Camille and Boom-Boom as test subjects for Emilia experiments.

=== 5 Years Later ===
Jamack is seen in a rebuilt Las Vistas with a job using a mega bunny as form as public transportation.
== Powers and abilities ==
* Prehensile Tongue - Like all Mod Frogs, Jamack is able to use the muscles in his tongue almost as a weapon. Similar to the ability of a normal frog, he is able to shoot out his tongue farther than most animals; But in a mod frog's case, this can range from a matter of feet to several yards. The strength of the muscles in his tongue allows him to grab onto people, items, or even large objects and propel himself forward at an alarmingly fast rate. The mucus his tongue secretes acts as a pressure-sensitive adhesive that can stick to or capture prey that even exceed his own body weight.
* Night Vision - Jamack has impeccable night vision and can see in pitch black environments, as most frogs can.
* Jumping - Another ability normal frogs have. This ability is amplified to a height of roughly 7 feet, maximum.

== Trivia ==
* Jamack originally was going to have his tongue get cut off rather than his tie, but the creator decided it was too dark for it to be in the show.
* Jamack is one of Rad Sechrist's favorite secondary characters.
* According to Rad Sechrist, Jamack was "inspired by Jamie Lannister going from bad to good."
* It is unclear if he ever found out about Kwat, Harris, and Mrs. Sartori getting encased in gold.
* Jamack was inspired by a Mod Frog in the original webcomic sporting a pencil mustache.
** Said Mod Frog individual was also the only frog in his group with a mustache. This differs from the tv series, where all male Mod Frogs have mustaches.
