Forest Boss

A pipe of black wood hangs from the mouth of this hulking mandrill, who keeps a rope knotted across his brow like a headband. Over his shoulders rests a jacket worn cape-style rather than slipped onto his arms. His sheer size sets him apart from the ordinary forest creatures around him.

When first roused, Forest Boss carries himself with plenty of swagger, going so far as to throw down a challenge to Gedatsu. That bravado does not survive the beating that follows. Once beaten, he turns cooperative, lending his labor to the resort project instead of holding any grudge.

Gedatsu woke the mandrill while laboring beside Goro and the Dirt Boss. The creature lashed out at first, but Gedatsu put him down without trouble, and he fell in line as the second of Gedatsu's recruits. While the Dirt Boss tunneled a route toward Arabasta, Forest Boss rallied his fellow mandrills and raised a thermal bathhouse on Ukkari Hot-Spring Island. He proved to be a gifted builder, completing the entire hot springs structure in a matter of hours with his troop's help, finishing the resort before the diggers came back.
