Dualot

**Dualot** is a character that first appeared in *Journey Through the Jungle of Words*.

## Description

Dualot is the Jungle of Words' local jungle girl, with a mostly calm demeanor. Although being partly civilized, she enjoys having the characteristic traits of a Tarzan-like jungle girl, such as vine-swinging, being friends with the jungle animals, and even doing the jungle yell. She is always willing to help those in need and make new friends. She is partnered with her monkey companion Seealot.

## Biography

One day, while Dualot and Seealot were swinging though the jungle, they saw Groucho and Olivia sliding down the cliff in the distance. They swung over to find Groucho and Olivia in the mud. Concerned, Dualot asked if they were alright. Groucho, assured her they were fine, and introduced him and Olivia. After Olivia got herself out of the mud, Dualot introduced herself and Seealot, and asked what they could help with. When Groucho told her that they were searching for Schnoz Ali, Dualot was amazed. Then, Groucho showed her the map and she exclaimed that it was the map to King Solomon's Mind. She insisted on taking Groucho and Olivia there herself since they were friends of Schnoz Ali. The four of them grabbed vines and Dualot led them as they swung through the jungle.

When they arrived at King Solomon's Mind, Seealot pointed at a red marker between the teeth. Opening the tooth like a door, Dualot and the others stepped into the dark passage, before the door slammed shut behind them. Dualot, Olivia, and Groucho were frightened by the sudden darkness, but luckily Groucho had a flashlight. Olivia saw a cave painting that said "Look" and Dualot said that it must mean they should look for clues. Groucho spotted another painting that said "Jump". Olivia spotted a vertical shaft in the floor, which all of them had to jump over. After finding a clue saying "Sing", Dualot, Olivia, and Groucho sang "We've Been Working on our Word Skills" which caused an echo in the cave. Olivia became scared, while Dualot looked worried. After Groucho said there should be a way to get out of the cave, Seealot found a picture saying "Run". Dualot suggested they run to the end of the cave and all four of them did. They stopped upon seeing a stop sign at the end of the hall. The wall opened like a door, bringing them to the Readers' Palace. While Groucho and Olivia marveled at the Palace, Dualot remarked to Seealot about how they "took the long way to the Readers' Palace". She then said goodbye to the two, saying "I'm sure we'll see you all later!".

Later, Groucho and Olivia were surprised to see Dualot in the Palace, dressed up and working as a word chips vendor. They then got chips for the first game from her. After Groucho and Olivia played the games, Dualot sang "A Musical Tribute to Words" on stage along with Seealot, King Tut, and Zebra during the Readers' Palace Extravaganza.

## Appearance

Dualot is a panther with blue fur and a pink nose. Her casual outfit is a furry yellow and black-dotted bikini top and skirt. Sometimes, whenever she's needed as a vendor, she dresses up in a showgirl-like outfit that consists of a blue gown with a white frilly collar and a golden tiara with a white puffball and a pink feather.
