-The '''Jungle King''' is a [[keyblade]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. It is gained automatically through the storyline when locking the heart of [[Deep Jungle]]; the world where [[Tarzan]] lives. While not the greatest Keyblade, its long reach does prove useful against fast [[Heartless]] as well as Heartless attacking in large groups. Jungle King is notably the first Keyblade Sora receives after the Kingdom Key, and the only Keyblade from the original game to not appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''.

+The '''Jungle King''' is a [[Keychain]] for [[Kingdom Key|Sora's Keyblade]] which appears in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''.
-|}
-==Appearance==
+==Development==
-The motif of the [[keychain]] is that of a blue jungle butterfly with orange/peach wing-tips, tied to a slim jungle vine, which is connected to the handle of the keyblade via a carabiner. The handle is fastened with purple and brown leather strips and the keyblade itself seems to be carved from a single piece of wood. It has two thorn-like spikes protruding from the handguard, one on each side of the shaft. Its two extra teeth provide a longer reach.
+The Jungle King was originally planned to appear as the signature Attack Card for Deep Jungle in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', and was even depicted in early screenshots for the game, but was [[Deleted content in the Kingdom Hearts series#Deep Jungle and Jungle King|removed]] along with the world when the estate of {{w|Edgar Rice Burroughs}} forbade Disney from reusing ''{{w|Tarzan}}''.
-==Trivia==
+==Story==
-Although this Keyblade did not appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' the original screenshots and magazine articles showed [[Sora]] using it in certain battles. The entire episode in the [[Deep Jungle]] was taken out due to the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs still holding copyright over "Tarzan" and not permitting Disney to re-use it, and hence, the Keyblade was dummied out and can only be accessed with the ''Game Shark'' accessory for the ''Gameboy''. However, on some game review sites, screenshots show Sora in battle with a Jungle King attack card shown at the top of his deck.
+===''Kingdom Hearts''===
+[[Tarzan]] gives [[Sora]] the Jungle King's Keychain once he locks [[Deep Jungle]]'s Keyhole.

+==Design==
-*[[Keyblade]]
+The Jungle King appears to be made of wood and other materials from nature. Its handle is orange and surrounded by a circular, tan guard with two spikes near its top. The guard is almost entirely covered by a dark purple material wrapped around it. The shaft is very thin, tan, and long, to the point that the Jungle King is one of the longest Keyblades in ''Kingdom Hearts''. Its teeth are made of five blunt, tan spikes separated by the same dark purple material from the guard. The first link of the Keychain appears to be a silver {{w|carabiner}}, while the rest of the Keychain appears to be a strand of creeper vine. The token resembles a blue butterfly with orange wingtips, the same type of butterfly that covered Deep Jungle's Keyhole.
+The Jungle King's English name references Tarzan's position as the "ruler" of Deep Jungle. Its Japanese name, Native Work, alludes to its status as a creation of the jungle.
+==Other appearances==
+===''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''===
+The Jungle King appears as an "Items" [[Avatar Part]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]''.
