==Design==
The Dream Eater's name contains the Japanese words for {{nihongo|"box"|箱|hako}} and {{nihongo|"monkey"|猿|saru}}. His appearance is based on a mandrill. The version that Riku fights, however, is also reminiscent of some stage magicians who wear shirts with flowy sleeves while performing.

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
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.

Sora accepts his apology then asks if Rhyme is his partner, to which Neku says she isn't. Rhyme then disappears just as the hooded figure appears. Neku tries to attack him but is smacked aside. The hooded figure summons the Hockomonkey before vanishing. Sora fights and manages to defeat 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]].
 
==Design==
Hockomonkey's appearance is based on a mandrill. Across both Brute and Mage versions, its head resembles that of a mandrill, having violet fur with five spikes protruding from its sides and a cyan beard. Its eyes are black with red pupils and surrounded by green fur, its nose is blue, and its mouth is vibrant pink with twin plaque-stained fangs. Its torso consists of a blue and pink box with green edges, the Nightmare insignia emblazoned at the top, and cyan markings. At the center of each face of the box is a red and green flower pattern.
 
The Brute version fought by Sora has two types of arms it can alternate between in battle. The first is a pair of twin, dark blue arms beginning with fuscia and periwinkle sleeves. The arms themselves are spiky, equipped with yellow gauntlets ending in rounded knuckles, and are tipped with four-fingered hands with yellow claws. The second type is a pair of stretchy arms with a green, yellow, and magenta zigzag pattern, with dark blue shoulders and an orange collar. The arms end with orange sleeves with a green stripe and a yellow pattern, tipped with yellow boxing gloves. Its legs are also dark blue with a yellow tail, twin yellow and blue bands, and five-clawed toes.


The Mage version fought by Riku has lengthy sleeves that are bright shades of teal and blue on the outside and red on the inside with yellow markings. Its hands in this form are four-fingered and teal, and have yellow bands. It has no legs, and instead floats in midair during battle.
In Riku's incarnation of the town, he and Shiki encounter Young Xehanort in the 5th 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 Hockomonkey in its mage form before vanishing. Riku fights the Dream Eater and defeats it.


Hockomonkey's name combines the words for {{nihongo|"box"|箱|hako}} and {{nihongo|"monkey"|猿|saru}}.
The [[Spellican]] summons the Hockomonkey during Sora's first encounter with it in Traverse Town during his second visit, but is destroyed and replaced with the wingless [[Wargoyle]].

====Attacks====
;Strong arms <!--力強い腕-->
*{{nihongo|'''Shake Off'''|振り払い|Furiharai}}: A two-strike backhand attack.
*{{nihongo|'''Trick Kick'''|トリックキック|Torikku Kikku}}: The Hockomonkey turns its body upside-down and performs an inverted kick.
*{{nihongo|'''Guard Bomb'''|ガードボム|Gādo Bomu}}: The Hockomonkey withdraws its arms, legs, and head inside the box and follows Sora for a short time, before exploding and inflicting Sleep.
*{{nihongo|'''Wall Kick'''|壁キック|Kabe Kikku}}: The Hockomonkey jumps off a wall and performs a midair charge in Sora's direction.
;Extending arms <!--伸びる腕-->
*{{nihongo|'''Long Punch'''|ロングパンチ|Rongu Panchi}}: The Hockomonkey's hands form into boxing gloves, its arms stretching over a long distance to punch Sora.
*{{nihongo|'''Hammer Punch'''|ハンマーパンチ|Hanmā Panchi}}: The Hockomonkey changes into a hammer and slams down on the battlefield. If the attack connects, The Hockomonkey will trap Sora in its head and pummel him with its boxing gloves before knocking him back.
*{{nihongo|'''Punch Rocket'''|パンチロケット|Panchi Roketto}}: The Hockomonkey summons floating versions of its boxing gloves that home in on Sora.
<!--After taking enough damage, The Hockomonkey slams the ground, sending itself and Sora inside the building, deals no damage.-->
<!--After taking enough damage, The Hockomonkey slams the ground, sending itself and Sora inside the building, deals no damage.-->
The Hockomonkey is initially fought in the Fifth District of Traverse Town. Once it takes enough damage, or around the start of the fight on Critical Mode, it will destroy the glass ceiling and drag Sora with it into the Garden, though it is possible to defeat it before this happens. Hockomonkey will withdraw its arms and summon floating versions of its boxing gloves that will home in on Sora once he drops from the rooftop of the Garden.


When prompted with enough damage, Sora can also use [[Slingshot]] to toss Hockomonkey and leave it stunned momentarily.
The Hockomonkey's attacks depend on whether it is using its normal or boxing arms. Occasionally, Hockomonkey will withdraw its arms and summon floating versions of its boxing gloves that will home in on Sora.
 
The safest way to attack Hockomonkey is with Flowmotion attacks.{{fact}}<!--which? does it matter?--> When prompted, Sora can also use [[Slingshot]] to toss Hockomonkey and leave it stunned momentarily. When its HP is reduced enough, the Hockomonkey will destroy the glass ceiling and drag Sora with it into the Garden, although it is possible to defeat it before this happens, though it tends to do this earlier in the fight on Critical Mode.
<!--tighten this up; use official attack names from ultimania; each attack should include info on how to dodge or parry it


If it is in '''Strong Arms''' mode, then it mainly attacks with a two-strike Shake Off attack. It may also use Wall Kick, to jump off a wall and charge at Sora in midair. Hockomonkey also attacks with Trick Kick by turning its body upside down and kicking Sora. One must be careful to back away when it is preparing its Guard Bomb for its drop speed-increasing Sleep status upon explosion.
If its arms are "normal", then it mainly attacks with a two-strike backhand attack. It may also jump off a wall and charge at Sora in midair. Hockomonkey also attacks by turning its body upside down and kicking Sora.


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.

;Strong Arms
This attack leaves Hockomonkey vulnerable for a few moments. Hockomonkey will sometimes withdraw its head, arms, and legs in its box, follow Sora for a few moments and then erupt with a shockwave, dealing damage if Sora is too close.

===Mage===
===Mage===
The Hockomonkey remains in midair for the entirety of its battle with Riku. It mainly attacks by tossing fireballs at Riku. Midair and flowmotion attacks are the best way to attack the Hockomonkey. After taking enough damage, or around the start of the fight on Critical Mode, the Hockomonkey disperses into four disembodied hands which must be destroyed to force it to reappear. This move can be delayed by stunning it. Once it reforms, it will be stunned and vulnerable; Riku will sometimes be prompted to use [[Slingshot]] to toss the Hockomonkey. As its HP dwindles, Hockomonkey begins using a new attack where it summons boxing gloves to attack Riku from below.
====Attacks====
 
For the Secret Portal rematch, Riku should equip [[Second Chance]], [[Once More]], [[Leaf Bracer]], and homing commands like [[Balloonra]] or [[Balloonga]]. When it replaces itself with its four hands, attack them with the Balloon commands and the [[Kick Dive]] and [[Sliding Dive]] Flowmotion attacks. When the Hockomonkey's hands begin appearing out of the ground, Riku should endeavor to keep in the air using Flowmotion.
