First Appearance: KINGDOM HEARTS (2002) Origin: Pinocchio (1940)
Monstro isn't your ordinary world with lovely inhabitants this way and that. In fact, it's not even a world! It's actually a beast of a whale, literally, but for what it's worth it might as well be a world complete with its own gravitational pull. When its home was destroyed, Monstro drifted out into the ocean of worlds, traveling the galaxy and swallowing whatever might come into its path. In a nutshell, that's exactly how Geppetto and his lovable puppet/son Pinocchio came to be, trapped within its stomach. With the help of Sora and his friends, Pinocchio comes up with the idea of starting a huge rumble in the depths of Monstro's innards so that he'd spit them out to rid himself of the irritation. Lo and behold, it works, and all parties are able to continue onwards in peace.
