Monkey King in Adopt Me: A Legendary Pet Inspired by Sun Wukong

The Monkey King: A Mythical Legacy in Adopt Me!

The Monkey King is a limited legendary pet in Roblox Adopt Me!, introduced during the 2020 Monkey Fairground Event. Inspired by Sun Wukong from Chinese folklore, this pet combines cultural significance with striking visual design, making it a prized collectible for traders and lore enthusiasts alike :cite[2]:cite[4].

Origins and Availability

The Monkey King was obtainable from May 28 to June 25, 2020, by combining three Staff Ingredients with a regular Monkey. Staff Ingredients had a mere 5% drop rate from Premium Monkey Boxes, which cost 195 Robux each. Post-event, it is now exclusive to trading, solidifying its status as a rare legacy pet :cite[2]:cite[6].

Design and Tricks

This pet features:

• Golden crown with red jewels and curled feathers.
• Red-and-gold armor, a staff embedded in its tail, and yellow-and-tan fur.
• A design directly referencing Sun Wukong’s mythical persona :cite[2]:cite[4].

As it ages, it learns six tricks:

• Newborn: Sit
• Junior: Lay Down
• Pre-Teen: Beg
• Teen: Joy
• Post-Teen: Trick 1
• Full Grown: Trick 2

These animations make it ideal for roleplaying mythical adventures :cite[2]:cite[6].

Neon and Mega Neon Variants

- Neon Monkey King: Glows light blue on its crown, staff, and armor sleeves :cite[2].
- Mega Neon Monkey King: Cycles rainbow colors through the same areas, creating a dazzling effect :cite[2]:cite[4].

Trading Value and Demand

Despite its legendary status, the Monkey King has lower demand compared to pets like the Frost Fury or Turtle. Its value is considered mid-tier, often trading for:

• 2–3 low-tier legendaries (e.g., Kangaroo, T-Rex, Ninja Monkey)
• Two Queen Bees or Albino Monkeys :cite[10].

Collectors appreciate its unique design, but strategic traders prioritize higher-demand pets :cite[10].

Fun Facts

- The pet’s creation process required sacrificing a regular Monkey, making it irreversible :cite[6].
- Its Neon variant is one of the few pets with blue glowing effects, contrasting its fiery design :cite[2].
- Players often pair it with the Monkey King Crown, a rare accessory from its original crafting process :cite[2].

Whether admired for its mythical roots or collected as a legacy gem, the Monkey King remains a symbol of Adopt Me!’s creative blend of culture and gameplay.
