This article is about the character. For the action series of the same name, see Buddhist Monkey (Ka-Pow! series)

Buddhist Monkey is the protagonist of the Happy Tree Friends spin-off series of the same name.

Contrary to what some fans believe, he is technically not a member of the show's main cast, as he doesn't even exist in the same universe, unlike the other Ka-Pows.

Character Bio

Buddhist Monkey is a yellow-orange anthropomorphic monkey who has appeared in only three episodes, Enter the Garden, Books of Fury, and Three Courses of Death, all of which he has survived and starred in. His enemies, the Generic Tree Ninjas, are bears that try to destroy what he cherishes, like in Enter the Garden when the Ninjas destroyed several of his plants, and in Books of Fury when they ripped and colored in several of the Monkey's books. Buddhist Monkey has appeared in three other episodes. In Rink Hijinks, there was a picture of him in a crane machine. In Blind Date, at the drive in, the movie was Books of Fury, and in Keepin' it Reel it was Enter the Garden. Buddhist Monkey is the only staring character that has never died in the series. His arch nemesis is The Dark Shadow Lord.

Normally, Buddhist Monkey is kind and calm, but when he is disturbed by Generic Tree Ninjas or another enemy, he becomes violent and starts to fight, despite his attempts to remain calm. Usually this transformation is followed by special effects. This aspect of his personality being most similar to Flippy except he's triggered by anger when Flippy is triggered by something reminding him of war.

Back when Buddhist Monkey was as cool as Disco Bear.

In the Ka-Pow! episode, Three Courses of Death, we learn a little more about Buddhist Monkey's past. When he was a younger monkey, still in training, he had an Afro that was burned off by the fire of his sensei (which would explain why he is bald). Through his sensei's teachings, Buddhist Monkey learned how to control fire with his hands, eventually becoming strong enough to boil the water of an entire lake. In the episode, Buddhist Monkey was able to defeat his nemesis' right hand man, Char Sui. Though he never actually meets his unseen enemy, it can be assumed that the two will do battle in the future. However, with Ka-Pow canceled, this scenario won't come any time soon.
