—Xuppu, "Sandboy" | ||
Xuppu[1] is a kwami that is connected to the Monkey Miraculous.[2] With his power, a wearer can use the monkey Miraculous to transform into a monkey-themed superhero. He is currently dormant in his Miraculous in Master Wang Fu's Miracle Box, as seen in "Sapotis".
Appearance
Xuppu is light brown with a yellow mark on his face. He has yellow ears, brown eyes with the irises being black, and a long tail.
Abilities
Xuppu can fly, levitate, and phase through solid objects. He can also carry objects that are larger and/or heavier than himself.
As a kwami, Xuppu is able to transform the holder of the Monkey Miraculous into a monkey-themed superhero, although it is unknown what the transformation looks like or what powers the transformed person gains.
History
Before Season 2
Before the Miraculous jewels were created, Xuppu and the other kwamis traveled all over the universe unable to interact with humans. Then, thousands of years ago, a mage created the Miraculouses. Xuppu started out in China, and was later in Japan. When his Miraculous was not being worn, Xuppu was dormant in the Monkey Miraculous, which was stored inside the Miracle Box.
Season 2
In Season 2, Xuppu was dormant in the Monkey Miraculous.
In "Sandboy", Xuppu was celebrating Nooroo's birthday in the Miraculous box with the other kwamis, and was excited when Tikki and Plagg arrived. They marveled at the gift Tikki brought as they thought it was a paintbrush, and they drew a line with the marker to the other kwamis. Starting to play the music, Xuppu danced with the others kwamis. When it came the time to find Nooroo, they got into position in an effort to contact him, but instead, they contacted his wielder instead. Hearing his voice, he shuddered at the thought of being his slave and prevented them from being discovered when they all cut off the connection. They realized if they contacted Nooroo's wielder, rather than Nooroo, then someone must have been akumatized, realizing the danger Tikki and Plagg's wielders were in.
