Jugo Kong

Jugo Kong is a Monsterverse King Kong version of Jugo the Strong, he was current member of The Kaiju Rebels Team and later become the Leader of the Great Apes after defeating the threats like Skar Gutt and Ragyo X, mentor of his children, Gorojavi, Nekriffon, and Masuko, and ally of Magarita Kong.
== Appearance ==
Much like Jotun counterpart Jugo, Jugo's fur had white and brown color, also red stripes and covers the majority of his body except for his face, chest, hands, and feet. Jugo Kong's skin is a silver color, and he has large scars running across his chest. Jugo Kong possesses a pronounced human-like beard which covers the lower part of his head and chin, two scars on his nose and a scar on the right side of his belly. And Monarch veterinarian Trapper replaces his infected right canine tooth with a titanium one. Later, Trapper equips him with a yellow mechanical glove on his right arm, dubbed the B.E.A.S.T. (Bio-Enhanced Anatomech Seismic Thunder) Glove.
== History ==
In 2030, Jugo Kong raced through a Hollow Earth plain, pursued by over two dozen ravenous Wart Dogs. He stopped and turned when he reached the edge of a cliff, roaring defiantly. The first Wart Dog to charge at him fell into a trapping pit of his own making and was impaled on massive spears. Next, he lifted a tree stump to activate a rock slide trap, crushing most of the others. Only three remained, and he convinced them to retreat by grabbing a Wart Dog's body and ripping it in half, showering himself in its blood, then roaring at them. After washing himself off, he prepared to dine on the carcass of the Wart Dog he ripped in half, but was struck with pain in an infected tooth. The reptilian Titan Doug tried dragging away one part of the carcass; he took notice and a brief struggle ensued, but he let it go after hearing what sounded like the roar of another of his kind. He followed the noise and was dejected to find that it was only a Parrot Frog mimicking him.
Soon after, Jugo Kong emerged from the Hollow Earth portal in Barbados, in even greater pain from his infected tooth. Though Flarezilla appeared to be unaware of his presence on the surface, Monarch, which had built a base around the portal, rushed to respond. After they sedated her, fearless Titan veterinarian Trapper Beasley dropped down from an armored hovercraft called a M.U.L.E., removed the tooth, and replaced it with a titanium one. Jia, who lived on the island along with Dr. Ilene Andrews, urged Jugo Kong to rest.
A small Monarch team comprised of Andrews, Jia, Beasley, conspiracy podcaster Bernie Hayes, and pilot Mikael, followed Jugo Kong back into the Hollow Earth in a redesigned Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicle (HEAV) to investigate a distress call transmitting from somewhere in the mysterious realm. Wielding his battle axe, Jugo Kong explored a chasm that opened beneath his rock slide trap. He landed in a cavern with numerous mammoth crystals, skulls of other monstrous apes — and, behind a waterfall, an unexplored second layer of Hollow Earth and meeting Magarita Kong, Gorojavi and Nekriffon. A massive form shrouded in mist approached him and he prepared for a fight, only to find Masuko, a nervous young ape roughly a third his height. Setting his axe down, Jugo Kong extended a hand to Masuko, and he appeared ready to accept it, only to lunge forward and bite Jugo Kong's finger. Jugo Kong chased after him, but was set upon by three larger ape geneals. Two of them, Stone Fist and Catcher, held him down while another, known as One-Eye, approached with a club. He hit one with a rock and moved the other into the path of the club, then caught the club on its second swing and threw its wielder into another ape and Gorojavi roars at another ape. Magarita Kong clubbed One-Eye, charging him with his axe. Before he could pick up the blade, Masuko launched himself at Nekriffon's face. Jugo Kong saves Nekriffon and grabbed Masuko and uses him to club two apes, then threw him at One-Eye. After beating one ape to death, he flipped another off a cliff, only to catch him before he could fall and pull him back up. The ape immediately grabbed a knife, forcing Kong to kick him off the cliff. One-Eye fled, with Kong hitting him on the head with a rock as he ran. After pulling Masuko out of the foliage and roaring furiously at him, Jugo Kong gestured toward the dropped knife and demanded that Masuko bring him to where the apes came from.
Jugo Kong, along with Magraita Kong, Gorojavi, Nekriffon and Masuko watched a flock of Warbats hunt Hellhawks. Masuko led Jugo Kong, Magarita Kong, Gorojavi and Nekriffon to a lake and splashed around to attract a Drownviper, who promptly attacked Jugo Kong, Magarita Kong, Gorojavi and Nekriffon. He kept its jaws at bay with the handle of his axe as Masuko ran away. Its coils caught his hand before he could swing the axe and it briefly pulled him underwater before they surfaced. After killing the creature, Kong threw his axe into Masuko's path, tripping him, then tossed its head in front of him. As evening fell, Jugo Kong along with Magarita Kong, Gorojavi and Nekriffon feasted on the creature, offering one slice to a hungry but still wary Masuko. The young ape initially rejected the food, before eventually accepting it and sitting closer to him.
Masuko led Jugo Kong, Magarita Kong, Gorojavi and Nekriffon across a bridge, made from the bones of a monster far larger than any on record, towards a volcanic area. They arrived in a large cavern full of other apes toiling away. As they walked amongst them, Masuko acknowledged an elderly ape, known as Gnarled Finger, who looked at him with concern. When a guard pummeled another ape, Boots, for dropping a stone, Jugo Kong intervened, helping him up and knocking out the guard with one punch. The apes' tyrannical leaders, Skar Gutt and Ragyo X, was soon alerted by One-Eye and emerged from his chamber to take stock of Jugo Kong. The other apes bowed before him and joined his laughter at Jugo Kong's titanium tooth, even a reluctant Masuko. Skar Gutt nonetheless confronted Masuko, only for Gnarled Finger to defend Masuko. Skar Gutt seemingly relented, then kicked Gnarled Finger into a lava lake. Masuko cried out in sorrow, and the furious Jugo Kong bellowed a challenge to the dictator. Skar Gutt proved a nimble opponent, and his Whipslash had far greater range than Jugo Kong's axe. He disarmed Jugo Kong, then tried choking him out with the Whipslash. He flipped him over his shoulders and threw him back, prompting Skar Gutt to call upon his ultimate weapon: a chained reptilian Titan who towered over Jugo Kong, Nonoshimo. He ordered her to attack Jugo Kong using the pink crystal at the end of his Whipslash, and though reluctant, she gave into the pain the device caused. Jugo Kong evaded her pink ice breath, then tried blocking it with his axe, but it failed to absorb the ray. With his right hand covered in ice, he was forced to drop the axe. Masuko, along with Magraita Kong, Gorojavi, and Nekriffon pointed out an exit, and he took it, dodging another blast. Skar Gutt and Ragyo X hoisted Jugo Kong's axe in victory and ordered his apes to give chase. He led a group of them back to his hunting grounds, dispatching two with more of his traps — but the rest stepped over the vine that would activate another rock slide trap. Backed into a corner with his right hand frostbitten, Jugo Kong nonetheless prepared to fight, until the rocks suddenly fell on their own, crushing the apes. he looked up to see Masuko, who beat his chest in triumph, also Gorojavi, Magarita Kong and Nekriffon, who roars in triumph. As they walked away, Masuko, along with Magraita Kong, Gorojavi, and Nekriffon supporting him, One-Eye dug himself out of the rock pile, having used his companion Knob as a meat shield to survive.
Meanwhile, the Monarch expedition discovered a group of Iwi who had been living in a Hollow Earth city called Malenka: the source of the distress call. The Iwi shared with them ancient writings on Skar Gutt, Ragyo X and their ape army, who once challenged Flarezilla for control of the surface world and lost, with the Titan sealing them away deep in Hollow Earth. They also revealed a prophecy that at the end of the world, an Iwi from Skull Island, like Jia, would come to her people's defense by summoning Flarezilla's steadfast allies, Rosiesura and Guardian Gorydorah Bros. The Iwi opened their barrier to let in Jugo Kong and Masuko, along with Magraita Kong, Gorojavi, Nekriffon, allowing One-Eye to glimpse their realm and its portals to the surface. He collapsed from exhaustion, but sat up to touch a finger to Jia's hand. He signed to her that he lost his home. Inspecting Jugo Kong's frostbite, Beasley proposed returning to Monarch Outpost One in Hollow Earth to bring back the prototype from Project Powerhouse. Andrews explained to Hayes that the project was a post-Mechaflarezilla effort to empower Jugo Kong against any other malevolent Titan who might arise. Beasley flew the prototype B.E.A.S.T. Glove over to Jugo Kong in a M.U.L.E. and it fit itself around his damaged hand. After receiving injections from the glove to heal his frostbite, Jugo Kong struggled to climb up a hillside, but soon adjusted to the device, testing its electrical capabilities by pounding the ground. Masuko returned with a warning that the army of Skar Gutt and Ragyo X was on the way. Jia asked Jugo Kong to seek out Flarezilla for help, and he headed for a portal.
Jugo Kong emerged next to the Giza pyramids near Cairo, Egypt. Flarezilla senses his presence immediately, leaping off the Rock of Gibraltar and swimming towards him. Aware of the impending return of Skar Gutt and Ragyo X, he had been accumulating power and evolved into a new form. Flarezilla soon made landfall in Cairo, tackling Kong into the Great Pyramid as he tried gesturing towards the vortex. Jugo Kong threw sand in Flarezilla's eyes, only to be slammed into the pyramid again and suplexed. Fed up, he dodged a stomp and unleashed a flurry of blows with the aid of the glove. He dragged a dazed Flarezilla towards the portal, but was forced to let him go as he unleashed his atomic breath, which sliced through a pyramid. Flarezilla pinned Jugo Kong and prepared to finish him with another blast. Just in time, Rosiesura intervened, knocking Flarezilla off him with an energy pulse. Jia, having fulfilled the prophecy by awakening her, stood atop the Great Sphinx, Gojallen, Speeradon, Chamelguirus and other Kaiju Rebels Team and Kaiju Resistance, stood face-to-face with Flarezilla, and the pair calmed him. The monsters all released their battle cries.
The Iwi released a liquid metal to force together the two largest electromagnetic pyramids near Malenka, which would unleash a brief antigravity shock wave when they collided. Beasley briefly holds off the army of Skar Gutt and Ragyo X by luring a flock of Vertacines into conflict with them, but Nonoshimo dispatched the flying creatures with her ice breath. Flarezilla and Jugo Kong launched from the vortex and charged towards the army. Jugo Kong hopped on Flarezilla's back, Chamelguirus charges, Speeradon flying, then launched himself at Skar Gutt and Ragyo X while Flarezilla pounced toward Nonoshimo. Skar Gutt leapt off Nonoshimo's back to meet Jugo Kong mid-air, while Nonoshimo lunged at Flarezilla. Before they could reach each other, the pyramids collided, and the ensuing shock wave sent all the monsters floating through the air. Jugo Kong blocked a strike from the Skar King's axe with the B.E.A.S.T. Glove. One-Eye attacked Jugo Kong from behind, but Suko repelled him with a pair of boulders. The antigravity wave started to wear off, sending all the monsters falling. The Skar King launched himself towards a vortex, followed by Flarezilla, Kitaro Jaguar, Nekriffon, Satsukimuto, Zouyakko, Chamelguirus, Speeradon, Beheuzu, Guardian Gorydorah Bros, Gojallen, Thunderjun, Baraquinn, Phoephexia, Varanky, Sekhmexia, Quetzaliggy, Na Kika Girl, Gorojavi, Matoimanda, Tsumugamera, Aikurozilla JR, Rosiesura, Nonoshimo, and Jugo Kong, who lost his axe in the process.
The Titans emerged in Tokyo, Japan, with Nonoshimo's arrival freezing an incoming wave. Skar Gutt and Ragyo X roared hatefully at the humans below, then ordered Nonoshimo to attack the city. As she began to freeze the buildings on the shoreline, Jugo Kong, along with Flarezilla, The Kaiju Rebels Team and Kaiju Resistance attacked their counterparts in unison. Skar Gutt spat out a tooth from Jugo Kong's blow; Kong smiled smugly in response, Chamelguirus rolling slams Ragyo X. He delivered a flying kick to Skar Gutt, but Nonoshimo blocked his next blow with a swing of her tail. Flarezilla blocked her charge in turn. Skar Gutt threw the top of a building at Jugo Kong with the Whipslash, but he destroys it with the glove. The ape tyrant then kicked Jugo Kong into Nonoshimo, who dragged him through the city before firing her frost bite blast at him, his glove barely managing to block it. Flarezilla interrupts Skar Gutt's gloating, severing the crystal at the tip of the Whipslash during the battle. clattering to the ground. Flarezilla fired at Nonoshimo, Kitaro Jaguar, Nekriffon, Satsukimuto, Zouyakko, Chamelguirus, Speeradon, Beheuzu, Guardian Gorydorah Bros, Gojallen, Thunderjun, Baraquinn, Phoephexia, Varanky, Sekhmexia, Quetzaliggy, Na Kika Girl, Gorojavi, Matoimanda, Tsumugamera, Aikurozilla JR and Rosiesura are attacking Ragyo X, while Skar Gutt tried to stop Jugo Kong from reaching the crystal, choking him from behind. But he was unable to stop Masuko, who had followed them through the portal, from shattering it with a wide swing of Jugo Kong's axe, the ensuing shockwave staggering all the combatants. Skar Gutt tried taking Masuko hostage, but Jugo Kong punched him while he was looking at Nonoshimo, freeing the young ape. Jugo Kong threws Skar Gutt to Flarezilla, who tail-whipped him back into Jugo Kong's waiting glove. Skar Gutt tried to command Nonoshimo, but with the crystal gone, she looked to Flarezilla instead. On his signal, she froze Skar Gutt solid. Still alive, he could only watch as Jugo Kong slammed him into the ground, shattering him into pieces. Then Ragyo X shock Skar Gutt's dead body pieces, then get revenge and turn into Keizer Ragyodorah, the Flarezilla using atomic breath at Jugo Kong's axe then slice Keizer Ragyodorah's 2 heads, now Flarezilla and Guardian Goryghidorah Bros finishing and destroying Keizer Ragyodorah, then the monsters victory over Skar Gutt and Keizer Ragyodorah
Jugo Kong, along with Magraita Kong, Gorojavi, Nekriffon and Masuko, now riding atop Nonoshimo, returned to the cave of Skar Gutt and Ragyo X to declare the apes' freedom, and the jubilant apes roared along with them, accepting Jugo Kong as their new leader.
== Abilities ==
=== Strength ===
Jugo Kong’s strength and combat prowess have tremendously reached new heights. Whereas a single Warbat posed a threat to him three years prior, a Drownviper, an aquatic serpentine titan, was little trouble for him to kill. Aside from his increased dominance amongst the other inhabitants of Hollow Earth, he proved to be a powerful match against multiple Great Ape individuals and even stood his ground against Skar Gutt and Ragyo X in a personal duel with the experienced warmonger. Jugo Kong even proved capable of engaging a recently evolved Flarezilla in a quick fight, during which, Jugo Kong displayed his strength greatly as he threw powerful blows at his opponent’s face.
=== Agility ===
Jugo Kong is incredibly agile, especially for a creature of his size. Jugo Kong is capable of leaping to great heights, shown when he knocks a Giant Condor out of the sky, and across great distances, shown when he takes the Skullcrawler King by surprise by leaping from a cliff and striking it with a boulder. Kong makes use of his agility while in battle, allowing him to anticipate enemy attacks and counter them. This is demonstrated when Jugo Kong is ambushed by two Skullcrawlers and manages to grab and restrain them as they attempt to pounce on him. Jugo Kong's agility allows him to scale the cliffs of Hollow Earth so he can travel across the terrain with ease or reach his mountain lair.
=== Intelligence ===
Jugo Kong’s intelligence is further foreshown throughout the events of the film, effectively countering more powerful Titans with his wits and skill set. He had set up traps to utilize for hunting other Hollow Earth inhabitants, which he would later use on the Great Apes sent to kill him, though the latter case only succeeded under Masuko’s intervention. In his first fight with Skar Gutt, Jugo Kong picked up on his opponent’s reliance on his respective weapon as well as his size disadvantage, flipping over his enemy before he could succumb to asphyxiation. In his fight with Flarezilla, he attempts to reason with Flarezilla to no avail before he was forced to fight where Jugo Kong utilized the surrounding sand to trick Flarezilla, and would later pummel the Monster King's head with his fists before attempting to drag him into the Hollow Earth vortex. Throughout the extensive final battle, Jugo Kong effectively coordinated with Flarezilla as the many of them fought Skar Gutt, Ragyo X and Nonoshimo interchangeably. Jugo Kong would ultimately be the one to kill Skar Gutt, smashing his entire being to pieces after Flarezilla and Nonoshimo landed their respective attacks onto the tyrant, and destroying Ragyo X.
=== Durability ===
Jugo Kong's ability to take damage and pain peaked as he faced various foes that nearly kill him. Jugo Kong was merely agitated throughout his scuffle with Masuko and a few Great Ape warriors. When he dueled with Ragyo X and Skar Gutt, he sustained a mere cut from the tip of his opponent's whipslash and later endured a painful chokehold that prolonged until Masuko inadvertently motivated him enough to flip Skar Gutt over his shoulder. When faced with Nonoshimo's ice breath for the first time, Jugo Kong's arm took the full blast and received a lethal case of frostbite that he endured long enough to receive aid from Monarch. When he called upon Flarezilla in an attempt to acquire his help with facing Skar GUtt and Ragyo X in Hollow Earth, he survived being rammed through the Great Pyramid of Giza and sent sliding back into a second pyramid. When Flarezilla regained the upper hand, Jugo Kong was knocked off his feet and endured multiple stomps to the chest. Additionally, Rosiesura's God Ray attack inflicted no harm upon him when she used it to prevent Flarezilla from killing him. In the extensive final battle as it took to Tokyo, Jugo Kong survived various physical attacks from Nonoshimo whenever Skar Gutt commanded her to do so, including a tail-whip and being swung around into multiple buildings.
=== Battle Axe ===
Jugo's axe was briefly able to hold back Nonoshimo's Frost Bite Blast, but was knocked out of his hands. And the final battle at Tokyo, Jugo Kong using the axe cut down Keizer Ragyodorah's heads.
=== B.E.A.S.T. Glove ===
After Jugo Kong's right hand was frostbitten by Nonoshimo, Trapper outfitted him with a yellow gauntlet called the B.E.A.S.T. Glove. The Glove serves multiple purposes: injecting his arm with medical serums to help heal it, enhancing his punches, and providing enhanced durability. A punch to the head managed to floor the evolved Flarezilla, while the gauntlet's metal surface resisted bites from both Flarezilla and Nonoshimo as well as the latter's freezing beam.
=== Masuko ===
Whilst fighting the Great Apes, Jugo Kong used Masuko as a blunt weapon to defend himself.
=== Weaknesses ===
Skar Gutt's Whipslash was able to leave cuts on Jugo Kong. Jugo Kong's hand was frozen by Nonoshimo’s ice beam and suffered frostbite even when blocking with his axe. Ilene Andrews stated that Jugo Kong wouldn’t survive a day in Hollow Earth had the B.E.A.S.T Glove not restored Jugo Kong's ability to use both of his arms. In his battle with an evolved Flarezilla he struggled even with the B.E.A.S.T Glove though it was due to him having no intentions of fighting and when he started to fight back he was eventually pinned down and was nearly blasted by Flarezilla's upgraded Atomic Breath had Rosiesura not intervened and broken up the fight.
