Mr. Munk

* Animated
* Puppet

Mr. Gidro Munk (often called just "Munk") was a major character who evolved into the main protagonist of the Puppet Squad series. Munk is a monkey puppet who often leads the squad on various adventures. However, he wasn't always the way he was, in terms of both position and attitude. On the show, Munk is often the source of crude humor and at the center of very intense situations. He also has a tendency to cause intense situations himself.

## Appearance

Mr. Munk is a tan colored monkey puppet with excessively long limbs. He has cream colored skin with a white beard to compliment his stupid face.

## Personality

On the surface Mr. Munk seems very rude, loud, and dumb. While most of these are kinda true, Mr. Munk has proven himself to be rather clever in the ways he insults his friends (mostly Cory) when they anger him. He also displays his surprising intelligence in other ways. There have multiple occasions where Munk was very aware and honest about his limits, such as how he knows he can't handle computers very well. He also seems capable enough to run a business, as despite the fact he advertises them in crude ways, he still manages to appeal to audiences and get customers for his services.

Munk also has a tendency to be vengeful and rude. When somebody has wronged him, regardless of how long it has been, he will still hold great spite for that person and go out of his way to get back at him. This side of him especially emerged when he had enough mistreatment from his own friend, Cory. This also seems to have sparked some sort of disregard for the law, given that after he became the owner of his own brand of products, he created outlandish services with commercials that included tax evasion, literal murder, and the demanding of the entirety of the viewer's finances.

It should be noted that despite having these violent moments of judgmental attitude, Munk does have standards. He is aware when something he could potentially say or do is too much, and if he experiences somebody else say or do a similar thing, he will not be very tolerant of it. Despite his crude actions, he maintains respect and care for his family, especially his mom, forbidding others from even swearing around her. Naturally, Munk believes in rights of Women, All Races, LGBTQ+, and more.

In the special episode Munk Origins, Munk was shown to once be a fairly intelligent, yet still slightly crude, primate. He showed much more care and shyness in his personality and also still went by his first name. However, an accident that transpired one night damaged Munk's vocal cords and brain, causing him to transform into his new state. He seems to have made his family and friends aware around the time, as they showed little shock/reaction upon meeting him again during the show's time period.

## History

Munk went to college with his best friend Cory and formed the group known as the Puppet Squad with him, Tyrone, and Grape Man. However, one day, an accident caused by a drunk pizza guy in a mysteriously acquired race car caused Munk's brain and vocal cords to be damaged, turning him into what he is now. As a result of the accident, Cory gave their friend Tyrone position as the second in command of the Puppet Squad. They decided not to finish college and instead moved into a house they claimed as Puppet Manor.

While several antics would proceed to play out in the early time of the manor, such as inviting Guinness and The Minis to the squad, the first major event to take place in that house would be what is known as the Christmas Incident. When the Puppet Squad was setting up their tree, Munk accidentally crapped all over the tree because of his stomach issues, ruining Christmas. Outraged by everything Munk has done over the past adventures, Cory threw Munk out of Puppet Manor. Munk then began searching for shelter. Soon, he found new friends in Yeti and Secret, who he met in an alleyway. After sharing his story, they offer to help Munk get back at Cory. The three broke into Puppet Manor, with Yeti and Secret beating up everyone on the squad, especially Cory. Munk claimed his revenge on Cory by delivering a heaping dose of monkey brand manure to his face, resulting in Munk taking charge of the Puppet Squad, and inducting Yeti and Secret into the squad.

The first adventure the squad went on under Munk's management was to hunt down Bigfoot under the employment of Guns Research. Munk eagerly took the job, revealing to the squad that Bigfoot is in fact his father, and was a jerk. It is also shown that Munk now has Cory under threats, targeting him often due to his treatment of the primate in the past. Munk used the weaponry given to him to plan the squad's attack on Bigfoot, who they discover is with a new wife, Big Ass. The attack is launched, and the two are captured, with Munk giving them away to Mr. Buckle without hesitation, even towards Bigfoot's attempt at reconnection.

Munk eventually invited some of his old friends, Macho Shark and Jerry the Mallard, to the Puppet Squad. Around this time he also begrudgingly let Cory's sister Karen in as well, though he treats her in a similar manner to Cory. Some adventures followed suit. Munk took his friends camping for example. Once, Munk had an encounter with the Woven Man, who was putting artwork all over the yard. Munk eventually scared him off due to bowel issues caused by his own fear, but also seemingly passed the Woven Man's curse onto Cory via walkie talkie connection. Another adventure revealed Munk occasionally buys Puppet Sugar from Kermit, a friend of his.

Munk eventually decides to try and get a job. His first attempt was to work at a facility called Fazbear Storage. At first the night job seemed very easy, but Munk screwed up and set off the various animatronics in the building, including the gigantic and very threatening Cat Animatronic. After a tense night leading to another bowel related defeat due to fear, this time being gas related, Munk abandoned the facility as fast as he could, tankful he didn't give them any vital identification.

Taking a break from job hunting, Munk goes to a store called Bill Bush with Grape Man and Macho Shark, and meets up with Phil Harvey, who previously hosted a game show for the squad. However, they didn't recognize each other, but still got on good terms, and Munk got a few Flip Games from the store and played them, with varying results. Munk would later return to the store in an attempt to get a job, but gets rejected. He proceeds to think about how to get revenge on Cory for sending him to Fazbear Storage, which leads to Munk kidnapping Cory, and placing him in the now abandoned storage facility. Munk awaited Cory's return, taunting him upon his arrival.

After some time, Munk would eventually decide to look into letting more people into the squad. He looked through the resumes that they apparently submitted, and introduced Kermit, Fuckles, Ur'Anus, and Bean intro the squad in addition to his new dog Dumper. After thinking the day was done, Munk would also see Furret passing by Puppet Manor. He would go outside to greet her and invite her into the squad after becoming attracted to her.

Days after, Munk would receive a call from his mother, Mama Munk, who tells him his great grandfather Tumbleweed just died, and that he left his company to Munk. Munk immediately sprang into action to create a series of services that showed a complete lack of care for advertisement law, especially in their commercials, which Munk had filmed shortly after with the help of Bean. Included in one of these commercials was Munk releasing a nuke on Cory, effectively and somewhat-graphically killing him. In order to get around the legal trouble, Munk made a deal with Bean to bring Cory back at the cost of them and some of their friends playing a game that required killing. After it was finished, Cory was revived. Also, during Grape Man's escapades of breaking into their new neighbor's house, Munk was very briefly seen hanging out in the tool shed, quite literally, and for unknown reasons.

Munk would eventually invite his brother Michael over to Puppet Manor in preparation for their family reunion. The two also inspected the attic of their house after they discuss rarely seeing Jerry around and hearing noise coming from said location. They go up to find that Jerry is having a party with many people, and they unfortunately stumble upon Jerry's unholy room. Later that night, Munk was waiting for Jerry, ready to talk to him about what had transpired and to help clear the Mallard's mind.

Shortly after, said family reunion would take place. Munk would meet up with various members of his family, especially his mom. While interacting with his mom, Munk reveals that he and Furret had officially started dating. It is also shown through a glare that despite not liking Cory, Munk prefers they pretend to still be friends in front of his family as he believes his mother would be upset if she learned the truth about what happened between the two. During the reunion, Munk has another encounter with Mr. Buckle, in which Munk, along with most of his family, attack Buckle for swearing around Mama Munk.

Later Munk would be shown working on starting his rap career. For a year, he had crafted the alter ego of Lil' Shit the rapper, and had been preparing his debut song, a diss track about Cory. It was around this time he had finally finished it. Munk had finished making the song and recorded a music video for it with Michael (under the guise "Big Dookie") and their friend Street Cat. A few days after dropping the music video to the public, Munk would be approached by a long time rival, Goofy. Upon going outside to confront him, the two would engage in a brief argument that quickly escalated into a drawn out fight where the two end up brawling all over town, even to the local aquarium. This culminated into Munk trying one of his nukes as a final resort, but still not finishing either of them off. The two end up bonding over their equally matched skills and instead go out to eat.

## Powers, Abilities, and Weapons

While Munk doesn't possess your everyday textbook superpowers, a lot of the things he can do are not natural, and therefore can be classed as such by technicality. He also has various other abilities and weapons.

### Powers

* Shit on Command: When Munk wishes to seriously ruin somebody's life, he is capable of releasing over half a pound of pure shit faster than a pirate's cannon. It may not sound like a lot, but as a 1lb being, he is somehow releasing half his body weight and showing no effects for doing so.
* Atomic Fart: When Munk is scared, he can release a fart powerful enough to kill not just living beings, but also machines.
* Agility & Strength: As a primate, Munk is notably more agile and strong compared to a human. This is especially seen in his fight with Goofy, in which at maximum effort, he was able to send Goofy up to a window on the Manor's third floor from the ground, then proceeded to climb up to it from the outside in seconds.
* Apparent Invincibility: During his fight with Goofy, Munk shows that he can apparently just shrug off loads of physical trauma, including the blast of one of his own nukes. It would also explain how he was able to survive the head-on collision from his college days, among his various would-be deaths among the earlier events on the show. Despite taking very little damage physically, extended periods of being struck in a fight can still tire Munk out.

### Abilities

* Insulting Wit: Munk is capable of thinking of very obscure (yet effective) insults on the spot when he is angered. A lot of this energy is also funneled out in the form of his diss tracks, where he unleashed his rage in the form of a sick beat and puts it up online.
* Supersonic Onanism: Don't look that up. Just watch Munk Origins.
* Extreme Loudness: Munk is capable of being loud enough to hear from several time-zones away. Research by the producers of the show proves that the entire United States can hear Munk when he's like this.
* Super Inhale: Munk's nose is powerful enough to sniff up literally every particle of puppet sugar off of a table, making it look freshly cleaned after the substance got it really dirty.

### Weapons

* Shit Nuke: While not constructed until the third season, this is Munk's most iconic weapon. Through currently unknown means, Munk is able to construct a disaster-grade organic explosive using a reaction related to his own manure.
* Yeetas Wand: Munk used this wand to cast Yeetas Vanitas in the episode of the same name.
* Pistol: Munk was forced to use a pistol on himself when he saw Skinhawk in his Halloween story in the 2019 Halloween Special.
* Rocket Launcher: Munk was given many guns when he was part of Guns Research to hunt Bigfoot, of which he took the Rocket Launcher.
* Hammer: When Munk attempted to work at Fazbear Storage, he was given a hammer in case he needed to whack somebody, which he forgot to use when animatronics were attacking. He would later use a hammer on Cory to knock him out for a revenge plan.
* Royal Robin: During the events of a murderous game that the squad had to play to revive Cory, Munk fought of the game's selected killer, Secret, using a Royal Robin from Red Robin.
* Jerry's Replay Theatre: While not a traditional weapon, Munk used the replay theatre in Jerry's unholy room to disgust and frighten Goofy during their fight. Given what we know about Munk, it's highly likely he would do this to somebody again should they really get on Munk's nerves.
* Dog Toy: In his fight with Goofy, Munk used a dog toy as a club against him.

## Relationships

### **Family**

#### Mama Munk

Munk has a very deep and caring relationship with his mom. With her on-screen debut in the episode Munk Family Reunion, we learn many things about them. Munk is very kind and respectful around his mother, dropping his tendencies of swearing and/or being violent around her, and even somewhat hypocritically becomes enraged when somebody else does those exact same things around her. His only exception to this rule was when Munk and the rest of the family jumped Mr. Buckle for swearing around her.

Munk also values his mother's opinions of others he knows. When introducing her to somebody, such as Furret, Munk very politely expresses his wish for the two to meet and get along. He also forces Cory to pretend that he and Munk are still friends in front of Mama Munk, presumably because he knows it would upset her if she found out what really became of their friendship. Munk also admits to his mother that he would always ask for her advice/permission when it comes to making big decisions, such as the idea of marrying Furret.

#### Michael

Given he's Munk's only full-blooded sibling, Munk gets along with Michael very well. The two can often find comfort in each other over their past, such as their hatred for their father Bigfoot. This often leads to the two hanging out and doing things together frequently, such as meeting up before their family reunion and filming a music video together. Whenever Munk is having an urge to rant on about stressful events in his life, Michael is frequently there to man the camera Munk likes to ramble into. Similar to Munk, Michael is not fond of when others do vulgar things such as swearing in front of Mama Munk.

#### Gonk & Salt

As Munk's half-brothers, they're a little more distant than Michael, but they are still on fairly good terms. While Gonk and Salt were too busy to attend the family reunion, it was because they share Munk's care for their mother, and were working to help support her. In other media by the show's creators that have recently featured Gonk and Salt, the two are shown to still care for Munk as a family member, namely mentioned by Gonk when he had taken over Munk's rambles series on his YouTube channel.

#### Misc. Family Members

While Munk hasn't openly bonded with some of his more distant family members such as Tabasco, Jalapeño, Londo, the Manko twins, and Socks on the show, his general opinion of all of them is shown to be good and vice versa as they all openly greet each other with joy. They all also share Munk's sentiment of not tolerating people doing vulgar things such as swearing in front of Mama Munk, as they all joined Munk in jumping Mr. Buckle for doing so.

#### Bigfoot & Big Ass

Bigfoot is Munk's father, but disappeared during Munk's childhood to later spend his life off the grid with a new wife, Big Ass. Years down the line, their whereabouts were discovered by Guns Research, who hired Munk to hunt them and armed him with lots of weaponry. Munk would then lead an assault on them, which ended with Bigfoot being beaten and Big Ass having a leach thrown onto her ass. Munk would later sell them to Mr. Buckle, posing as a government agent who claims they will be studied to improve human evolution. In return, Buckle gave Munk a briefcase full of money, which caused Munk to celebrate with a party.

### **Friends**

#### Macho Shark

Munk has been long-term friends with his universe's version of Shark Puppet, who has gone through therapy and become very buff. They are very good friends, and Macho Shark is even shown to have a higher tolerance for Munk's antics, but will speak his mind when they reach a certain point. Even if they have a little dispute over Munk's more brash actions, they remain good friends. Likewise, the two often hang out, such going on a camping trip together, going to Bill Bush together, and are likely doing various other recreational activities together, such as games of both digital and tabletop varieties.

#### Dumper

Munk adopted Dumper as a dog due to the fact the two could bond over common thoughts and both sought some special companionship. Likewise, the two tend to have a similar thought process behind certain situations and don't ever seem to disagree.

#### Furret

Munk and Furret met by complete accident, but both seemingly felt an attraction to each other on site. Despite Furret generally being more polite and contained compared to Munk's wild and often rude temperament, the two bond very well, especially since Munk is actually very contained and polite himself when hanging out with and speaking to Furret. While it is unknown how much time specifically passes during the events of the third season, by the end of it, they had already officially started dating, and respect each other to the point where Furret addresses Mama Munk as "mom."

#### Yeti & Secret

Munk met Yeti and Secret when he was kicked out of Puppet Manor by Cory. They quickly became friends when Yeti offered to help get back at Cory for what he did. The two have always stood by Munk's side ever since. Before Munk was able to reach out to Macho Shark, they served as the temporary vice-leaders. The three also bonded over their grief with Bigfoot, with Yeti and Secret being homeless because of him. Upon learning Munk was Bigfoot's son, they didn't show hostility, showing a clear understanding that despite what happened, it wouldn't have been Munk's fault.

#### Jerry

Munk is revealed to be good friends with Jerry in the episode Camping Trip. Ever since, Jerry has been shown in relatively silent support of the adventures Munk goes on, but Jerry is also one of Munk's more distant friends. This resulted in an awkward meeting in the episode The Secret Life Of Jerry, where Munk discovered Jerry throws parties and has an unholy room in the Manor's attic. Upon learning of Jerry's more unhinged side, Munk offers the mallard a talk, likely to reach an agreement about secrets and the frequency of these party animal actions.

#### Kermit

Munk and Kermit seemingly have a very close relationship despite the fact they don't hang out often. Despite not being part of the squad until the third season, Kermit's debut was actually in the episode Puppet Sugar, where Munk buys the similarly named substance off of Kermit in a drug deal. This shows their relationship is close despite their little contact due to the fact Kermit offered the stuff to Munk for free. Kermit would later be accepted into the squad, and seemingly still keeps up a good friendship with Munk.

#### Grape Man

While Grape Man tends to hang it with his own little group within the squad, he and Munk are still very good friends. Grape Man was introduced to the squad through Munk, though it is unclear if they were friends long before or had met during those college years.

Even after Munk's revenge plan on the squad during Christmas ended up getting Grape Man hurt a little, he didn't mind, as he was actually understanding of Munk's situation. The two have worked together since. Grape Man helped Munk's plan to capture Bigfoot, and Grape Man was actively hanging out with Munk and Macho Shark when they went to Bill Bush. Munk is also perfectly willing to listen to Grape Man's requests, as he had called in Fuckles and Bean per Grape Man and co.'s request.

#### Guinness

While Munk doesn't often interact directly with Guinness, the two are shown to be on good terms. They worked together well before the Christmas Incident as shown in Budget Feud. Even after Munk's revenge for said incident got Guinness a little hurt, the two cleared things up quickly. Guinness assisted in Munk's efforts to capture Bigfoot, and was very open to Guinness' request to have his good friend Fuckles move in after the latter had recently gone through some depressing times.

#### Fuckles

The two don't interact directly much, but the two are shown to have good chemistry. They first met when Munk held interviews for the squad, in which Fuckles was invited per Grape Man and Guinness' request due to him having recently gone through a very depressing period in his life. Munk accepted him, understanding where he was coming from, and despite how little they interact, it is something the two can bond over. Munk further shows genuine care for Fuckles in Amunk Us, as when the echidna had buried himself while caving into stress, Munk had witnessed it and rushed to check on him.

#### The Minis (Screamus, Orlav, Creeper, Bean)

The Minis as a collective don't interact with Munk too much, but they are definitely willing to help Munk out on a moment's notice, even after Munk's revenge plan for the Christmas Incident ended up getting them a little hurt. Orlav in particular played a huge role in Munk's plan to capture Bigfoot by starting the ambush with a grenade.

In the episode Munkey Business, Munk sought Bean's help in particular to build a website for Munk's newly inherited company and brand due to the little astronauts' affinity for working with technology. Bean showed no hesitation to help, in fact, he accepted all the work of building said website and got intensely focused doing so. Bean later helped Munk review the commercials for his various services, implying Bean had also helped film them. Munk would soon seek Bean's help again in reviving Cory, with Bean offering a solution that could resurrect Cory in exchange for some of the squad playing a game. Bean was willing to tech Munk what to do in the game and ended up backing Munk up when they were the last ones standing against the game's selected killer.

### **Frenemies**

#### Goofy

While it's unclear how long Munk and Goofy have known each other, their first interaction in the show in the third season's special shows that by that point they had known each other for a long time and it doesn't take much for the two to get into a disagreement. The two had seemingly split ways long ago, but Goofy sought Munk out in the special after seeing Munk launch his rap career, thinking Munk was gaining too big of an ego off of it. This ends up with a long and brutal fight between the two that goes all over town, but ultimately concludes with the two being an even match. Upon realizing just how alike they really are, the two quickly grow a sense of respect for each other and put their differences aside to go have lunch instead.

#### Tyrone

While Munk does have mild bitterness towards Tyrone for taking Cory's side, there isn't any truly bad blood between them. This is supported in the episode Hunting Bigfoot, where Munk gives Tyrone a decent gun and states "Tyrone, even *you* get a gun!" In return, Tyrone wasn't really hesitant to follow Munk's plans for capturing Bigfoot, and was possibly even eager to participate. This more neutral attitude is also shared among Munk's other friends.

### **Enemies**

#### Cory

In the past, Cory and Munk were best friends, often hanging out and bringing their friends together to form the Puppet Squad, with Munk entrusting Cory as the leader. However, they drifted apart after Munk's accident, with Cory making Tyrone the new second in command. Nowadays, Munk insults Cory at every opportunity. This feud truly awoke when Cory threw Munk out of Puppet Manor for ass blasting the Christmas tree by accident. Munk soon got revenge by covering Cory's face with extra fresh monkey brand manure, utterly destroying Cory's life, and taking his role as the leader of the Puppet Squad. Ever since, Cory tends to just keep his trap shut.

The episode Hunting Bigfoot shows how little Munk cares about Cory after the Christmas Incident. When handing out weaponry, Munk shouts that Cory that he can "suck a tree's anus and have this tiny pistol" before giving Cory said pistol, and then threatens Cory when showing off his Rocket Launcher. In the episode Woven, Munk was documenting his encounters with the mysterious Woven Man on a walkie-talkie that he believed to be some form of recorder. Unbeknownst to Munk, the other walkie-talkie was under Cory's bed, and due to poor connection, Munk's entire night was played back in looping distorted bursts from under Cory's bed, filling Cory with pure fear and possibly passing the curse of Woven Man to him.

When Munk started looking for a job, Cory directed him to Fazbear Storage. It can be assumed that Cory meant legitimately good will by this, possibly trying to help patch things up. Unfortunately, that didn't go very well, so Munk returned the favor by knocking Cory out and placing him in the now abandoned Fazbear Storage Facility to fend for himself against the seemingly endless amounts of danger. Cory survived, but Munk still got a laugh and insult on Cory out of it.

Despite being Cory's request, Munk accepted Ur'Anus into the squad. While it is unknown why Munk willingly listened to Cory on this, it wasn't out of any sort of healing of the two's friendship, as in the very next episode, Munkey Business, Munk would kill Cory via the shit nuke in one of the most graphic kills in the show by far, using stock footage of a guy getting blown up down to his skeleton to show this is what had happened to Cory. However, despite his hatred for Cory, Munk knows he can't leave him dead, so he went through the effort of bringing Cory back to life despite his opinions of him.

Cory would also attend Munk's family reunion, as Munk needs Cory to pretend that the two are still friends for the sake of Munk's mother. Cory seems to be genuinely kind with Mama Munk, though he still tends to feel uncomfortable talking to her due to Munk's threats. He also nearly swore in front of her, but Munk cut him off. Despite being somewhat hypocritical to do so, Munk clearly showed restraint, as he and his family had jumped Mr. Buckle a few minutes later for the same thing.

#### Karen & Ur'Anus

Munk hardly pays Karen and Ur'Anus any mind, as he just merely sees them as Cory's friends and that's it. Regardless, Munk had let both of them on the squad per Cory's request despite the fact he could've easily not done so to spite Cory. Of course, it's also possible he had accepted them so he could have more people to make fun of. Either way, Munk's attitude towards them isn't shown to be very kind, as he openly insulted Ur'Anus upon meeting him just for being Cory's friend, and when talking with Furret, Munk casually mentioned he doesn't count Karen as a legitimate female perspective amongst the group, adding onto the time he completely forgot she even existed in That FNaF Episode.

#### Mr. Buckle

While Mr. Buckle has caused Munk minimal trouble during the show's span, Munk is still left with a very low opinion of him due to the fact that the mafia man had used profanity in front of Mama Munk. This is of course despite the fact that Buckle had previously worked with Munk to help take down Bigfoot with no strings attached, which is unusual for the mafia man. This is because of course Munk will forget the good anyone does for him if they proceed to act vulgarly around his mother.
