The {{nihongo|'''Jungle King'''|ネイティブワーク|Neitibu Wāku|lit. "Native Work"}} is a [[keyblade]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. It is gained automatically through the storyline when locking the heart of [[Deep Jungle]]; the world where [[Tarzan]] lives. While not the greatest Keyblade, its long reach does prove useful against fast [[Heartless]] as well as Heartless attacking in large groups. Jungle King is notably the first Keyblade Sora receives after the Kingdom Key, and the only Keyblade from the original game to not appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''.

The Jungle King appears to be a wooden key fastened with brown and violet leather strips. The hilt has thorns extruding from it, and the key's teeth are wooden spokes. The keychain is attached to the hilt via a carabiner, and its token is one of the blue butterflies that hid the keyhole in Deep Jungle.

The Jungle King appears to be made of wood and other materials from nature. Its handle is orange and surrounded by a circular, tan guard with two spikes near its top. The guard is almost entirely covered by a dark purple material wrapped around it. The shaft is very thin, tan, and long, to the point that the Jungle King is one of the longest Keyblades in ''Kingdom Hearts''.

==Trivia==
The Jungle King's English name references Tarzan's position as the "ruler" of Deep Jungle. Its Japanese name, Native Work, alludes to its status as a creation of the jungle.
Although this Keyblade did not appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' the original screenshots and magazine articles showed [[Sora]] using it in certain battles. The entire episode in the [[Deep Jungle]] was taken out due to the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs still holding copyright over "Tarzan" and not permitting Disney to re-use it, and hence, the Keyblade was dummied out and can only be accessed with the ''Game Shark'' accessory for the ''Gameboy''. However, on some game review sites, screenshots show Sora in battle with a Jungle King attack card shown at the top of his deck.

The Jungle King is a Keychain for Sora's Keyblade which appears in Kingdom Hearts.

Development[edit]

The Jungle King was originally planned to appear as the signature Attack Card for Deep Jungle in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, and was even depicted in early screenshots for the game, but was removed along with the world when the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs forbade Disney from reusing Tarzan.

Design[edit]

The Jungle King appears to be made of wood and other materials from nature. Its handle is orange and surrounded by a circular, tan guard with two spikes near its top. The guard is almost entirely covered by a dark purple material wrapped around it. The shaft is very thin, tan, and long, to the point that the Jungle King is one of the longest Keyblades in Kingdom Hearts. Its teeth are made of five blunt, tan spikes separated by the same dark purple material from the guard. The first link of the Keychain appears to be a silver carabiner, while the rest of the Keychain appears to be a strand of creeper vine. The token resembles a blue butterfly with orange wingtips, the same type of butterfly that covered Deep Jungle's Keyhole.
