Editing Hockomonkey

|DDDBRstun=x0<ref>Can be left stunned after destroying all Magic Hands and getting staggered.</ref>

In the first visit to Traverse Town, Sora and [[Rhyme]] meet [[Neku]] at the top of a garden plaza in the [[Fifth District]]. Neku apologizes to Sora for handing him over to the [[Xehanort|hooded figure]]. Sora accepts his apology and then asks if Rhyme is his partner, to which Neku says she is not. Rhyme then disappears just as the hooded figure appears. Neku tries to attack him, but is smacked aside. The hooded figure summons the Brute Hockomonkey before vanishing. Sora fights and defeats it.

In Riku's incarnation of the town, he and Shiki encounter Young Xehanort in the Fifth District, who taunts Riku. Beat appears and tells Riku that Xehanort posed as a Reaper and promised to return Shiki to her world if she delivered Riku to him. Xehanort takes off his hood and summons the Mage Hockomonkey before vanishing. Riku fights the Dream Eater and defeats it.

The Brute Hockomonkey is the first Nightmare boss summoned by the [[Spellican]] during Sora's second visit to Traverse Town, followed by the [[Wargoyle]] and the [[Char Clawbster]].

When in '''Extending Arms''' mode, Hockomonkey now attacks by punching Sora from a distance, utilizing its Long Punch attack. Sora can guard against this, or avoid the attack altogether by staying underneath Hockomonkey. Hockomonkey also utilizes its Hammer Punch attack where it transforms its body into a hammer and slams the battlefield. The attack is hard to react to and must be avoided by backing away from it at first sight. If too close, Sora may Dodge Roll right before the hammer lands. If the attack connects, Hockomonkey will trap Sora in its head and pummel him with its boxing gloves. Once it ends, immediatly use either Aerial Recovery or Payback Raid to prevent getting blown too far away, if any of these commands are available. If the attack misses, Hockomonkey will be left vulnerable to further attacks.  

{{Atk-c|note=Hockomonkey can switch to Extending Arms anytime.<br>When fought at the Fifth District, when Sora is on the glass rooftop, and Hockomonkey uses its Strong Arms, it may surround the rooftop with walls, and use Wall Kick to break the rooftop, moving the fight into the Garden below. Hockomonkey can no longer switch to Extending Arms afterwards.}}
