Joka also attempts to hide keys from Klonoa in Forlock Forest, but left most of the task to his lesser minions, the Flying Moos. In his first appearance, he inadvertently tells Rongo Lango's weak point, as well as other bosses' weakness to Klonoa. All he really wants is to be recognized by Ghadius.Īt the opening of Klonoa: Door To Phantomile, Joka appears to be quite the incompetent little henchman. He is extremely loyal to Ghadius and tries desperately to please him. He made trouble for Klonoa, Pango, and Guntz as attempts to stop them from interfering with his plans.Īs his name suggests, Joka is mischievous and a little bit violent. Joka appeared as a henchman to Garlen and partner to Janga in their scheme to harness the power of nightmares. He attempted to spend the money to Momett, but got arrested for forgery. The spell backfired and simply made the notes increase in size, but not value. If he won, he casted a spell to multiply his prize money by 10 times in an attempt to increase its value. Joka participated in the Beach Volleyball Tournament as a playable character. Joka returns as one of the contests of the Dream Champ Tournament. Whereas in the Wii version, he just floats as he explodes.) With a final yell, he exclaimed, "My Ghadius!/Lord Ghadius!" (In the PSX version, he falls dead on his back as he explodes. Before he succumbed to his injuries, Joka explained to Klonoa to listen to 'the sound of the Moon Kindgom's return, and that everyone would end up in darkness in a nightmare. However, even using his new dark abilities, such as transforming into a turtle-like monster, Joka proved to be no match for Klonoa as he was defeated. As a last attempt to redeem himself to Ghadius, Joka used the power of darkness and battled Klonoa atop the tower of Coronia, intent on destroying the Dream Traveler once and for all. Once Ghadius disappeared to Cress with Lephise in tow, Joka turned even menacing as his voice became threatening and distorted. Joka tried to explain to his lord about how strong Klonoa was, but Ghadius told him that it didn't matter, and the fiend was relieved to not suffer his lord's wrath. In Coronia, after Klonoa and Huepow made their way to the top unharmed, Ghadius was furious at Joka for failing to get rid of them. He later appeared to Klonoa again on the other side of the Wind Village, releasing his last monster, Baladium, to kill the Dream Traveler, which ultimately failed to do so. Joka then unleashed a deadly beam upon the house, destroying it and mortally injuring Granpa in the process, before retrieving the pendant. As soon as Klonoa arrived in Breezegale and saw that his Granpa was safe, Joka, along with a Pilot Moo, appeared in flying hovercrafts and floated above the Klonoa's house. He then revealed himself to Klonoa before beginning to make his way back to the Wind Village before Klonoa did.
After the battle, Joka secretly eavesdropped on the conversation between Klonoa and Granny, even overhearing that Klonoa's Granpa was in possession of the Moon Pendant. Joka angrily sent out his monster, Gelg Bolm, to fight Klonoa, before he leaps away into the distance. Atop Forlock, the fiend was seen threatening to hurt Granny if she didn't tell him something important, but before he could do anything to her, Klonoa arrived. Joka soon appeared in Forlock, making sure that Klonoa didn't make his way to the Forlock elder, Granny, but failed. Before he could continue on, Klonoa simply drove him away with a single blast of his Wind Bullet. He appeared again, after Klonoa defeated Cursed Pamela and the corrupted King Seadoph, enraged that the Jugpot king would be bested by a 'brat' like Klonoa and began berating Seadoph. Unfortunatey, Klonoa defeated it, and Joka ran off, vowing that he wouldn't forget about Klonoa's meddling. Upon discovering that Klonoa and Huepow were eavesdrooping on a conversation between himself and his dark lord, Joka sent out a monster called Rongo Lango to get rid of them both.
