Kongs are a primate species that originated on Kong Island where they play a central role in the Donkey Kong franchise after it was revealed that Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong that kidnapped Pauline.[1][2]
Biology
The Kongs are a group of primates very similar to normal primates such as: gorillas, monkeys, orangutans, chimpanzees, apes, yetis and baboons. It has pale-skinned skin, coat of any color, different hairstyles and clothing.
History
Background information
In ancient times, Kongs lived on island where it was still ruled by Tiki Tong.[3] Because they were immune to the hypnotic power of the Tikis, Kongs began a rebellion against the tyranny of Tiki Tak Tribe, destroying them all and took control of the island named Kong Island.[3]
Just like any primates, the Kongs lived in the jungles of the home island and eat bananas.[4][5] Despite being primitive, the Kongs preserve the environment and build devices with garbage they find on the island.
Donkey Kong franchise
The history of the Kongs in the franchise begins when Cranky is captured by Mario and is considered the most memorable member from this species.[6] The good Kongs are part of Kong Family formed by Cranky Kong's great grandfather most of them being heroes to protect their home island against any power-hungry conquerors.[7]
But there are Kongs who are in the service of evil and who are not on the side of the Kong Family. Manky Kongs and Minkeys are separate groups of bad Kongs which were members of the Kong Family and banned for their bad attitude.[8][9] Ghastly King is the first main villain Kong where he controlled the entire fruit kingdoms. According to prohibition signs with Donkey Kong's tie scattered all over Bright Savannah, Ba-Boom seemingly known about the Kong Family.
