## **BIOGRAPHY**

Antauri is the second-in-command of the Hyperforce. His age is unknown, as with the rest of the monkeys, but is strongly suggested he is an adult. His height and weight are also unknown, but it's believed he's around 3–4 feet tall. He pilots the Brain Scrambler, and his main weapons are his ghost claws. He is the black monkey for seasons one and two, but for seasons three and four, is the silver monkey.

Outside of Shuggazoom City, he is also a member of The New Action Squad serving as a therapist like character.

## **APPEARANCE**

* Seasons 1 and 2: Black and white fur, partially robotic body, light blue ghost claws, olive green eyes.
* Seasons 3 and 4: Fully robotic, silver-colored body with black accents, dark blue eyes, magenta and dark purple ghost claws.

## **PERSONALITY**

Antauri tends to be the wisest of the team. The rest of the team tend to look up to him and usually come to him for advice. He trained at the Veron temple "Many years ago", though specifically when is left to fans to speculate. Antauri is Chiro's mentor and is very caring of the rest of the team. He was a black monkey for the first two seasons, but is now the silver monkey (And fully robotic whereas his friends are only partly robotic) thanks to Skeleton King. He is commonly seen meditating and patrolling the city, though does enjoy playing chess and various other activities. He is a vegetarian.

The story on his color change: Antauri had gone to help Chiro when he went to Skeleton King. When everyone thought hope was lost and the Dark One was going to be set free, Antauri (Who had been mortally wounded by Mandarin) gave his life by falling into the pit and using his spirit to control the Super Robot and cut off the Dark One's head in the process of closing the crack it was escaping from, in the process possessing Chiro. (Turns Chiro into a monkey.) Chiro ran away, searching for Antauri and eventually coming across the Alchemist's lair. The silver monkey was then rebuilt by Chiro, and Antauri's spirit entered it.

Antauri does not seem to be fond of video games (as he considers them mind-numbing and detrimental), even short-circuiting Chiro's gaming systems a few times in the episode Flytor, when he deemed necessary. Despite this, he has his quirky moments such as in the episode 'Big Lug', he takes great interest in a soda-drinking hat, and in the same episode, uses his Ghost Claws to cheat at pinball, and then defends his actions by saying "at least [He] didn't tilt."

## **TRIVIA**

* In "Night of Fear", it's revealed he's afraid of losing control of the Silver Monkey's body. It's unknown as to what he was afraid of before "I, Chiro".
* A question among fans is if Antauri's completely back and why does the Super Robot still thinks for itself if it had Antauri's spirit inside it. However, it could be argued that Antauri simply awoke the Super Robot, seeing as later on in the show the Super Robot is shown to have memories of the past and consciousness.
* It is believed that Antauri and the Super Robot share a special connection after "I, Chiro".
* The person who voices Antauri, that being Kevin Michael Richardson, in the television series also voices The Skulker in Danny Phantom and Captain Gantu in Lilo & Stitch.
* Antauri's name may be a hybrid of the names [Alpha] Centauri and Antares. Both names of a star system and star respectively. Or the name is a short version of **A**lpha Ce**ntauri**.
