Sanity: 100
Health: 125

Favorite food: Banana Shake

Starting items: 10 Accursed Trinkets, 3 Palmcone Sprouts, 1 Pirate's Bandana, 1 Cutless.

• Accursed Trinket: 1 rope, 2 bone shards, 2 palmcone scales.
  
• Cutless: 1 twig, 1 log.
  
• Battle Paddle: 1 oar, 1 rope, 3 palmcone scales.
  
• Pirate's Bandana: 4 silk.
  
• Captain's Tricorn: 6 silk, 3 charcoal, 2 accursed trinkets.
  
• Black Flag: 6 beard hair, 4 silk.
  
• Pirate Map: 1 papyrus, 1 feather pencil, 2 accursed trinkets.
  
• Monkey Hut: 4 boards, 3 cutstone, 6 palmcone scales.

Wonkey is the only one who can craft the map, but when you dig up the Pirate Stashes the loot has been changed to give you a map to the Moon Quay Island along with everything else, no matter which character you're playing as!


Accursed Trinkets: Wonkey is not affected by the Moon Quay curse, but the Trinkets are still attracted to you so you can't drop them or give them to other players. You can also make more and use them on some of his other crafts or break them to gain a boost of sanity and health with a 30s period of health regen after. But Wonkey REALLY loves his Trinkets! So much so that for each trinket missing below the 10 he starts with he will receive a max sanity penalty, so make sure you always have a full stack!

Being a monkey: Wonkey has free passage on the Moon Quay Island at all times and Powder Monkeys and Prime Mates are always neutral, but pigs and bunnymen will become hostile. As a monkey you also cannot speak yourself but you can understand other monkeys.
Monkey Run: Wonkey walks a little slower than other characters but after 3 seconds he breaks into a quadrupedal sprint!

Being a pirate: Wonkey has permanent access to all default Think Tank recipes and is an Expert Sailor, so he rows and does all boat actions faster than normal! You also get extra value from pirate related items:

• 30% extra damage from the Cutless and Battle Paddle.
  
• Pirate Bandana: 6/min sanity gain and loses durability at 75% rate.
  
• Captain's Tricorn: 25% damage boost for you and all follower monkeys and 30% damage reduction for all follower monkeys.
  
• Polly Roger's Hat: 6.6/min sanity gain and loses durability at 75% rate. Also gives any player the regular boat buffs for both the Bandana and the Tricorn and a 25% speed boost (same as the walking cane!). The mod also adds the option to whistle while wearing Polly's hat in order to call and dismiss her so you can still wear it without putting her in harm's way or filling up your inventory.
  
• The Pirate Banner now has a 6/min sanity aura for all characters, but Wonkey gets double the amount!

Pirate captain: Wonkey has the ability to recruit Powder Monkeys as followers by giving them bananas, making them much stronger! Monkey followers get increased health, damage and speed and will join your crew forever, on top of being able to receive hats and weapons so you can raise your armada however you want!
If you need some space just eat a Cooked Banana and they will stop following you and revert back to their original state.

Super Prime Mates: By offering one of your precious Trinkets to a Powder Monkey, they'll be upgraded into a Super Prime Mate! This transformation lasts for 2 days but you can extend it by feeding them bananas (also heals them!), and while transformed they'll have extra health, do more damage, move faster, mine and chop trees for you and will even follow you down into caves! Transformed monkeys also get a special explosive Cannonball Attack dealing high AOE damage before going into a 10 second cooldown. You also have the ability to upgrade naturally spawning Prime Mates from pirate raids, and they'll be transformed permanently!



At any point, if you want to revert them and have them stop following you, just feed them a piece of Rot and they'll turn back into Powder Monkeys.


Regular characters turned into Wonkey will also get access to his crafts (excluding the ones that involve Accursed Trinkets) and gain the ability to recruit Powder Monkeys!
