Addicus

Addicus is a member of the evil Mutants.

He is the leader of the Monkians from the planet Plun-Darr.

## Appearance

As a Monkian, his species; he is a humanoid monkey.

He has white fur and and tan skin.

He wears his spiked helmet, however unlike the rest of his army he is shown to have it visibly not strapped on, with the strap hanging down to his shoulders.

## Personality

Addicus normally never quarrels with any of the Mutants but occasionally is shown to be mildly rebellious toward Slithe.

In the episode "Eye of the Beholder", when Addicus tells Kaynar that the Sword of Omens is unguarded, Kaynar suggests they should tell Slithe, but Addicus asserts the two of them should instead work privately as a team; then, once they have the Sword, they can put Slithe back in the kitchen where he belongs.

In another episode, "Trouble With Time", Slithe and Addicus complain about the quality of their food while Jackalman seems to enjoy it; Slithe instructs Addicus to find a cook, saying that a woman's touch is needed.

Addicus mumbles to himself, "Chauvinist reptile," but when Slithe then demands to know what was said, Addicus quickly complies with the order.

Addicus may not be very fond of Slithe at times, but he and Kaynar prefer Slithe's leadership over Ratar-O.

When Ratar-O first arrives in the episode "The Feliner", he barks at the Mutants to stand at attention and to call him sir.

Slithe, Addicus, and Kaynar decide to go along regardless of this harsh treatment because they think Ratar-O's plan could work, but the three of them are clearly uncomfortable submitting to such orders.

In the second part of the episode, after Ratar-O's plan fails, Slithe assumes command once again and promises Vultureman and Ratar-O that he will settle with them later.

Addicus and Kaynar instantly back him up despite later facing Ratar-O's displeased punishment as effected by the fearsome Rat's Eye power emanating from his two daggers.

In some cases, Addicus's ignorance hurts the Mutants' plans to defeat the ThunderCats.

In the episode "The Fireballs of Plun-Darr", Monkian is eager to blast the intruders from their new fuel room which is capable of launching fireballs over long distances.

Tygra, Lion-O, and Willa seal the door, but once Addicus melts it down, his weapon inadvertently sparks into the room to ignite the fuel, setting off a flurry of explosions which destroy the fireball launcher and tear through Castle Plun-Darr.

Despite sometimes seeming mentally challenged, such behavior usually brings out the humorous side of Addicus's character.

For example, in the episode "Trouble With Time", when trying to explain his findings about the Thundrilliam, Addicus is so hyperactively excited that Slithe must tell him to slow down.

The Mutants manage to piece together what he is attempting to communicate before he actually gets the chance to explain, at which Monkian disappointingly sighs, "That's what I've been trying to say!"

## Skills & Abilities

He is shown to be not such a great fighter, however he does okay with his Ball and Chain Flail, he frequently uses.

While Addicus may not be the smartest of the Mutants, he is a very good spy.

It is usually Addicus who obtains information about the ThunderCats.

In the episode "Trouble with Time", Addicus learns that the ThunderCats are searching for Thundrilliam which fuels all their equipment.

When he informs the other mutants, they agree that they must prevent the ThunderCats from finding their fuel so that the Mutants will have an advantage.

Sometimes Addicus secures knowledge indirectly from his informants.

For example, in the second episode of the "Anointment Trials", Addicus tells Slithe that his information came from his best source, a female whom he claims to have met in a tree.

Nevertheless, Monkian plays a key role for the Mutants.
