Kong Family

Former Members
The villainous Manky Kong's used to be members of the Kong Family, but were kicked out of the family for being too mischievous. As a result, they are also described as "Kong reject orangutans". They are drastically different in appearance from the Kongs. Another species of evil primates known as Minkey's may or may not be former members of the Kong Family.
