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]].

 

;Strong arms <!--力強い腕-->

*{{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.

;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's 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. When its HP is reduced enough, the Hockomonkey will destroy the glass ceiling and drag Sora with it into the Garden, although it is possible to defeat it before this happens, though it tends to do this earlier in the fight on Critical Mode.

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.

*{{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.

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.
