The Troll Kong is a giant four-armed species of gorilla beast that rules over the IGO's 8th Biotope and are the keepers of the Biotope's prized ingredient the Rainbow Fruit. They are a species with near human level intellect, making them not only strong but intelligent as well and even have a social hierarchy with ranks and important roles to maintain.^[1]

AnatomyEdit

Their fur is a shade of forest green, while their exposed skin and face are a pale red/dull pink color. They have large and buff muscular bodies but their most unique trait is their four arms which are considerably powerful. All of the Kongs within The Garden were shown to have multiple scars from fighting with each other, probably to prove themselves dominant over their fellow Kongs. Some Troll Kongs also have unique hairstyles, such as mohawks, buzzcuts or wavy straight hair. The Troll Kong's hair turns white as they age and upon reaching old age they become a Silverback Troll Kong.

BehaviorEdit

They are carnivorous mammals who live in a pack in the IGO's Eighth Biotope around the Rainbow Fruit Tree; using it's alluring scent as bait to attack the animals drawn to it, therefore acting as the fruit's protectors to protect their own way of life. They are shown to have a ranking system which ranges from the weakest of their kind (which act as scouts and are the first to attack), their average and stronger fighters and their leader. They can distinguish the weak from the strong simply by smell alone.

Despite their strict hierarchy, it is allowed for Troll Kongs to make personal individual decisions (such as those relating to their hair which they like to style in unique ways) and such decisions are respected, making them not that much different from people and it helps to show off their individuality and intelligence. Their impressive intelligence even allows them to make and use tools and create traps, displaying a great deal of ingenuity and cleverness.

LeadershipEdit

The Silverback (Capture Level 10) is an elder Troll Kong and the leader of the group and relays orders to them from afar and only fights the strongest prey. It has a greater sense of danger than normal Troll Kongs and knows how to avoid it and it is shown to be approximately 3 times larger than an average Troll Kong. The Troll Kongs' strict hierarchy gives the Silverback complete and total authority over all.^[2]

AbilitiesEdit

The Troll Kong is referred to as the strongest primate of all by some, though this is probably a misnomer; as there have been gorillas shown that far outclass them in both strength, level and size in both the Human World and the Gourmet World.^[3] It may simply mean that they are the strongest of IGO's artificially created gorillas.

They all have six limbs and make use of their extra pair of limbs when in combat. By using their lower arms for balance, they can strike from awkward and unique positions and even attack prey/foe who dodged the first attack from their forward set arms and catch it off-guard. A child Troll Kong can easily flip over a tank.

They are also highly intelligent and dangerous; using traps and tricks to lure prey or foes to their demise and can easily set up ambushes, showing a great deal of teamwork and camaraderie.

As FoodEdit

Their meat is sinewy and inedible, but their brains are considered a delicacy by a select few aficionados and 100 grams can go for about 5,500 yen.

HistoryEdit

Rainbow Fruit ArcEdit

The Troll Kong first appeared when it was scouting the gate of the 8th Biptope. It was able to set a trap for Toriko and Komatsu when it spoted them coming trough the gate. As the trap successed in getting Toriko , it was about to kill Komatsu before Toriko use a Knocking Gun to paraylzed it. Later when Toriko and Komatsu got close to where the Rainbow Fruit was located, there was a pack of Troll Kongs waiting for them. All of them was paralyzed by Toriko and was able to be subduded due by the Silverback giving in to Toriko and letting him take the Rainbow Fruit.

Puffer Whale ArcEdit

The Troll Kongs of the 8th Biotope were slaughtered to near-extinction by the Bishokukai during their infiltration of the Biotope in order to procure the Rainbow Fruit. The incident was soon reported to the IGO's greatly shocked Board of Directors, along with the reports of other biotopes having their contained animals suffer a similar fate.
