Mandu

* Debut
* Current

**Mandu** is one of Kipo's companions. She's a four-eyed and six-legged mute boar that roamed alone in Las Vistas until Kipo found her.

## Appearance

Mandu is a small cyan mute boar with two sets of eyes with black irises and six legs. She has black ears and black hooves. Five years later she'd gained some tusks and increased in size, implying she may have been a baby.

## Personality

Initially suspicious and timid, Mandu offers loyal companionship provided when there are cheese puffs involved. She's watchful and protective over those she loves and often the first to spot danger.

She's also affectionate and cuddly when she gets comfortable. She likes to run around, almost like a dog, and to be chased.

## History

Mandu's history before the show is still unknown.

### Season 1

Kipo names Mandu after the dumplings that her dad used to make, claiming that Mandu looks just like them.

Mandu gets captured repeatedly as people, like Wolf and Jamack, just see her as food or a "bacon sandwich". Mandu, after forging a bond and friendship with Kipo, gets protected by her time and time again.

Mandu joins Kipo, Wolf, Benson, and Dave on her adventure to find her people and her burrow in Season 1.

### Season 2

In Season 2, Mandu is along for the ride helping Kipo and her gang defeat Scarlemagne. Mandu joins in with the gang to meet the Chevre sisters, to Brunchington Beach, to the Deathstalkers land all to find Kipo's parents' old burrow to get her more information about her mutation and her anchor.

They successfully find the anchor at the burrow and set out to defeat Scarlemagne, but run into Emilia, who pretends to be their friend. After Emilia locks Dave, Benson, and Wolf in a cage, Mandu fights Emilia and saves them.

Mandu joins the group at Scarlemagne's coronation where they go to save the humans.

### Season 3

In Season 3, Mandu starts growing tusks and had a habit of biting things. Five years later, Mandu turns out to be a Mega Boar, as she is seen fully grown.

## Trivia

* Mandu is the first mute Kipo becomes friends with.
* Unlike the other Boar Mutes seen, Mandu has floppy ears.
* Mandu means dumpling in Korean.
* The show occasionally treats viewers to Mandu's point of view (e.g., stacked double-vision as depicted by two horizontal split screens that eventually align.
* Mandu, Kipo, Wolf, and Dave are the only characters that have consistently appeared in every episode.
* Since Mandu is seen as a large Mega Boar with full grown tusks in the epilogue, this means she was practically a baby boar in her previous appearances in the series.
* She is the youngest member of the Brunch Bunch.
* It is unclear how Mandu ended up on her own or what happened to her family, since she was established to be a piglet in the first three seasons of the show and was seen to be alone before she met Kipo.
* Mandu was referred to as a ‘he’ in the original webcomic.
