The Platypunk is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Platypunks are short, round creatures with duckbills, bird-like claws, long, monkey-like tails, and Mohawks on their heads. Most of their fur is white, with darker grey sections around their eyes, their mohawks, and the ends of their tails. Their eyes have a roundness to them that is similar to that seen in Slime eyes.

Platypunks aren't too strong, often being one of the weakest enemies in the games they appear, though they tend to be quite aggressive. Their methods of attack have varied between spitting water, spinning out with their tails, or viciously scratching with their claws. Their silly appearance is said to catch adventurers off-guard.

In the Slime MoriMori series, they are established as the primary villains, though they still aren't very strong.
