Baboon Army

The **Baboon Army** are former antagonists in the episode *Jungle Kingdom Bash* in the animated series, *Dreamcoast Adventures.* As the name suggests, they are an army of baboons who are under the authority of Monte but served as the Masked Primate's minions when he placed a powerful spell on them.

## Background

The Baboons are residents of the Baboon Lands. The residents of the Jungle Kingdom see the baboons are insane and violent animals, saying that they have "jungle fever." Sometime during King Panthera's reign, the Baboons encountered Silver, the head servant with secret plans to overtake the kingdom but needs the army. Due to Silver not being of authority to the baboons, they didn't take him seriously, instead they laughed at him. Willing to gain respect, Silver casts a spell on Monte and the Baboons, turning them against the kingdom and into truly insane and violent animals, capable of destruction and even murder.

#### Jungle Kingdom Bash

On the eve of the coronation, the royal family of the Jungle Kingdom is kidnapped by the Baboon Army. With the royal family out of the picture, the council will have no choice but to crown the head servant, the new reigning monarch. Unfortunately, the lion cub, Mitchell escapes from the Baboon Lands leading the other baboons to bring him back before he gets too far. Unfortunately, they fail as Mufasa defeats the baboons, forcing them to retreat. Their boss is informed about this and instead of punishing them, like they feared, the Masked Primate decides to play this to their advantage.

Later the next day, Silver manages to capture Mark and the gang and bring them over to the Baboon Lands where the Masked Primate is revealed to be Silver, who faked his own kidnapping to ensure his usurpation plan is a success. He also reveals that Mitchell is the eldest son of the royal family and upon hearing this information, his memories start to come back to his mind, remembering how angry he was at Silver for betraying the kingdom and tries to kill him by turning himself into a monster with the help from Mark's magic wand. Silver and the baboons manage to escape to the Jungle Kingdom to kill Mayor Morocco who is one of the figures to have power over the kingdom.

Mitchell and the gang returns to the kingdom to battle Silver and the baboons. While Silver battles Mitchell, the Lion Guards battles the baboons. During the battle, Darwin discovers that the baboons are under an evil spell. He tells Mark that a large volt of electricity can snap the baboons out of the trance. They head up to electrical tower to make that happen but is confronted by Simon and Simeon, two savage baboons that serve as his pets. Mark battles the savage baboons while Darwin gets the electrical tower in position which he successfully does. The large volt of electricity frees the baboons from the spell and they all realize that they've been tricked. They then turn against Silver and prepare to arrest him for his crimes. Afterwards, the royal family is freed from their cursed imprisonment, Mitchell is crowned king and the baboons are accepted by the residents of the kingdom and becomes residents of the Jungle Castle.
