The '''Hockomonkey''' is a [[Dream Eater]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. It serves as the boss of [[Traverse Town]] and is fought by both [[Sora]] and [[Riku]].

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
In the first visit to Traverse Town, Sora and [[Rhyme]] meet [[Neku]] at the top of a garden plaza in the [[Fifth District]]. Neku apologizes to Sora for handing him over to the [[Xehanort|hooded figure]]. Sora accepts his apology and then asks if Rhyme is his partner, to which Neku says she is not. Rhyme then disappears just as the hooded figure appears. Neku tries to attack him, but is smacked aside. The hooded figure summons the Hockomonkey before vanishing. Sora fights and defeats it.

In Riku's incarnation of the town, he and Shiki encounter Young Xehanort in the Fifth District, who taunts Riku. Beat appears and tells Riku that Xehanort posed as a Reaper and promised to return Shiki to her world if she delivered Riku to him. Xehanort takes off his hood and summons the Hockomonkey in its mage form before vanishing. Riku fights the Dream Eater and defeats it.

Hockomonkey is the first Nightmare boss summoned by the [[Spellican]] during Sora's second visit to Traverse Town, followed by the [[Wargoyle]] and the [[Char Clawbster]].

==Design==
Hockomonkey's appearance is based on a mandrill. Across both Brute and Mage versions, its head resembles that of a mandrill, having violet fur with five spikes protruding from its sides and a cyan beard. Its eyes are black with red pupils and surrounded by green fur, its nose is blue, and its mouth is vibrant pink with twin plaque-stained fangs. Its torso consists of a blue and pink box with green edges, the Nightmare insignia emblazoned at the top, and cyan markings. At the center of each face of the box is a red and green flower pattern.

The Brute version fought by Sora has two types of arms it can alternate between in battle. The first is a pair of twin, dark blue arms beginning with fuscia and periwinkle sleeves. The arms themselves are spiky, equipped with yellow gauntlets ending in rounded knuckles, and are tipped with four-fingered hands with yellow claws. The second type is a pair of stretchy arms with a green, yellow, and magenta zigzag pattern, with dark blue shoulders and an orange collar. The arms end with orange sleeves with a green stripe and a yellow pattern, tipped with yellow boxing gloves. Its legs are also dark blue with a yellow tail, twin yellow and blue bands, and five-clawed toes.

The Mage version fought by Riku has lengthy sleeves that are bright shades of teal and blue on the outside and red on the inside with yellow markings. Its hands in this form are four-fingered and teal, and have yellow bands. It has no legs, and instead floats in midair during battle.

Hockomonkey's name combines the words for {{nihongo|"box"|箱|hako}} and {{nihongo|"monkey"|猿|saru}}.

==Strategy==
===Brute===
====Attacks====
;Strong arms <!--力強い腕-->
*{{nihongo|'''Shake Off'''|振り払い|Furiharai}}: A two-strike backhand attack.
*{{nihongo|'''Trick Kick'''|トリックキック|Torikku Kikku}}: The Hockomonkey turns its body upside-down and performs an inverted kick.
*{{nihongo|'''Guard Bomb'''|ガードボム|Gādo Bomu}}: The Hockomonkey withdraws its arms, legs, and head inside the box and follows Sora for a short time, before exploding and inflicting Sleep.
*{{nihongo|'''Wall Kick'''|壁キック|Kabe Kikku}}: The Hockomonkey jumps off a wall and performs a midair charge in Sora's direction.
;Extending arms <!--伸びる腕-->
*{{nihongo|'''Long Punch'''|ロングパンチ|Rongu Panchi}}: The Hockomonkey's hands form into boxing gloves, its arms stretching over a long distance to punch Sora.
*{{nihongo|'''Hammer Punch'''|ハンマーパンチ|Hanmā Panchi}}: The Hockomonkey changes into a hammer and slams down on the battlefield. If the attack connects, The Hockomonkey will trap Sora in its head and pummel him with its boxing gloves before knocking him back.
*{{nihongo|'''Punch Rocket'''|パンチロケット|Panchi Roketto}}: The Hockomonkey summons floating versions of its boxing gloves that home in on Sora.

<!--After taking enough damage, The Hockomonkey slams the ground, sending itself and Sora inside the building, deals no damage.-->
The Hockomonkey is initially fought in the Fifth District of Traverse Town. Once it takes enough damage, it will destroy the glass ceiling and drag Sora with it into the Garden, though it is possible to defeat it before this happens. Its attacks depend on whether it is using its normal or boxing arms. Occasionally, Hockomonkey will withdraw its arms and summon floating versions of its boxing gloves that will home in on Sora.

The safest way to attack Hockomonkey is with Flowmotion attacks.{{fact}}<!--which? does it matter?--> When prompted, Sora can also use [[Slingshot]] to toss Hockomonkey and leave it stunned momentarily.

<!--tighten this up; use official attack names from ultimania; each attack should include info on how to dodge or parry it

If its arms are "normal", then it mainly attacks with a two-strike backhand attack. It may also jump off a wall and charge at Sora in midair. Hockomonkey also attacks by turning its body upside down and kicking Sora.

Hockomonkey now attacks by punching Sora from a distance. Sora can guard against this, or avoid the attack altogether by staying underneath Hockomonkey. Hockomonkey also utilizes an attack where it transforms its body into a hammer and slams the battlefield. If the attack connects, Hockomonkey will trap Sora in its head and pummel him with its boxing gloves. If the attack misses, Hockomonkey will be stunned momentarily. 

 This attack leaves Hockomonkey vulnerable for a few moments. Hockomonkey will sometimes withdraw its head, arms, and legs in its box, follow Sora for a few moments and then erupt with a shockwave, dealing damage if Sora is too close.

===Mage===
====Attacks====
;Hockomonkey
*{{nihongo|'''Fire'''|ファイア|Faia}}: The Hockomonkey tosses three fireballs at Riku.
*{{nihongo|'''Launch Punch'''|打ち上げパンチ|Uchiage Panchi}}: The Hockomonkey summons boxing gloves that attack Riku from below.
;Magic Hands <!--マジックハンド-->
*{{nihongo|'''Hit'''|叩く|Tataku}}: The Hockomonkey's hands swipe at Riku.
*{{nihongo|'''Palm Tree Stamp'''|ヤシの木スタンプ|Yashinoki sutanpu}}: The Hockomonkey's hands pummel Riku with palm trees coming from the battlefield.
*{{nihongo|'''Throw'''|投げつけ|Nagetsuke}}: The Hockomonkey's hands grab objects from the battlefield and throw them at Riku.

The Hockomonkey remains in midair for the entirety of its battle with Riku. It mainly attacks by tossing three fireballs at Riku. Midair and flowmotion attacks are the best way to attack the Hockomonkey. After taking enough damage, the Hockomonkey disperses into four disembodied hands which must be destroyed to force it to reform. Once it reforms, it will be stunned and vulnerable; Riku will sometimes be prompted to use [[Slingshot]] to toss the Hockomonkey. As its HP dwindles, Hockomonkey begins using a new attack where it summons boxing gloves to attack Riku from below.

For the Secret Portal rematch, Riku should equip [[Second Chance]], [[Leaf Bracer]], and homing commands like [[Balloonra]] or [[Balloonga]]. When it replaces itself with its four hands, attack them with the Balloon commands and the [[Kick Dive]] and [[Sliding Dive]] Flowmotion attacks. When the Hockomonkey's hands begin appearing out of the ground, Riku should endeavor to keep in the air using Flowmotion.
