## Basic Information

Salsa is a monkey that is kidnapped by Fassad during Chapter 3, separated from his girlfriend, Samba. He is forced to wear a shock collar and is shocked whenever he disobeys or tries to escape from Fassad. Fassad uses him as one of his tools to manipulate Tazmily, by forcing him to do tricks and dance. Eventually, he is rescued by Kumatora and temporarily joins the group until the end of the chapter, where he reunites with Samba.

During Chapter 7, Salsa and Samba make an appearance in the Chimera Lab, near the first needle of the game. They are rescued by Lucas and friends, and Salsa is able to perform a dance that can open one of the stone doors to one of the needles. From here, he is never seen again in the story.

## Tournament Lore

In The Tourney of the Gods, Salsa is known as The God of Punishment, Judgement, and Karma. After the events of Mother 3, Salsa was filled with hatred and resentment for all that had been done to him, and the sheer emotion that he had stuffed in him for so long granted him godlike powers. Since then, he has been the god of punishment, judging those in life, and more commonly, the afterlife. When one dies, he judges them for their actions in life, and if they had committed sin, he will punish them for all eternity. The exact punishment you will get is up to Salsa, as he has a unique punishment - which he collects in lists - for every single being he punishes. They are all equally as horrible to experience, even if it doesn’t seem like that based on description. Rarely, he will punish the living for repeated offenses of escaping death, dishonoring him (and his friends), and other things in similar veins.
