Jungo

Jungo Logo

Life for the animals in Clint City’s Zoo was turned upside down the night the meteorite “JNGA XII” crash landed on their cages. In the moments after the crash, radiation emitted by the huge rock, mixed up the DNA of all the creatures in the vicinity. Half-man and half-animal, the Jungo unite behind Ongh and swear to never return to their cages.

Release Date[]

Jungo was released on December 2008.

Bonus[]

+2 Life- If Jungo win the fight, the player controlling Jungo will win 2 Life points at the end of the round.

Advantages & Disadvantages[]

Advantages:

Their bonus gives you two life points back after you win with one of them.
Many of the cards have high base power.
Some of the cards' abilities involve getting life back or taking them away from your opponent.
They also have cards with abilities that increase their power or attack.
They are good when going up against GHEIST and Roots, since they have a lot of cards with the Stop abilities. They also do not rely on their abilities much.
They work well in both mono and half decks.
They are excellent when paired with Bridget, since her ability gains a life back each round.
Only a few of the cards have been banned from ELO, and they are also a very good clan to use there.

Disadvantages:

They rely heavily on their bonus to win, so they are weak when going up against Nightmare and Piranas.
They also have trouble against Freaks, whose bonus takes two life away from you each turn, which counteracts their bonus.
Some of the cards are weak against power or attack manipulation.
Many of the cards have low base damage, although their bonus usually compensates this.
So far, they only have three damage reducers.

Trivia[]

The crash of JNGA XII wasn't the first accident that the Zoo ever had. The fire mentioned in Lobo's profile, was the first.
The clan's name is a pun on the word, 'jungle', which is rather ironic, considering that they live in the zoo.
The Jungo's finishing animation has a group of animals running across the screen that trample the opponent's card. One of the animals, a gorilla, stomps on the card for a bit before running away.
The Jungo's finishing animation in their arena has a rock falling, which then breaks into two and crushes the opponent's HQ, destroying it in the process while animal sounds can be heard.
The Jungo's finishing animation in UR World, the opponent´s card received three claws of a wild beast and bleed out until disappears.
The Jungo's weapon is a banana.
The colors of the Jungo is dark-burgundy and mustard-yellow.
Their symbol is a paw, symbolizing the clan's only members being animals.
It could also stand for their turn from animals into half-human, symbolizing to stand on their own feet and be independent.
Together with the Hive and Dominion, they are the only non-human clan.
Not all members of this clan belonged to the zoo; there are "normal" animals too( like Byron the frog ,Trash the rat or Taki the puffer-fish) who where near by the crash.
In the Hive/Vortex timeline, there are only a few Jungo members left, with Easter and IP-Otaam being one of the last descendatns.
The clan's secondary bio reads as "For us, KOs are the exception, we're civilized creatures, not wild animals! But when it comes to lives… we’re the kings! Solid stats, good abilities, and pretty stable as well!"
According to Ongh Cr's mythic announcement, due to yet unknown reasons, the clan has to rebuild their HQ, of which plans had been left over from Ongh before he turned mythic.
- Some members were then recruited to rebuild the zoo, like Merrie.
Since Ongh Mt departure, the clan has evolved into a sort of Mafia under Sobek's leadership, shifting the clan's former neutral status into a more villainous status, with new members terrorizing and harassing the people of Clint City. This shift in the Jungo's status was revealed to be the result of Sobek's position as Advisor 1767.
- However in Banzai's bio it was stated, that if a member tends to violent outbursts, they are rejected and expelled from the clan, portraying the clan into a more business-oriented Mafia structure rather than pure violence.
- This was later cemented in Tinomor's bio, when he was remanded to an asylum for trying to harm himself that was caused by witnessing his parents' deaths.
In SnailMan's bio, it was implied that the Jungo are open to recruit humans who transformed into animals (reversed to their transformation), if that person has enough animal traits.
- This was mentioned previously with Freaks member Rhyno, where his rhino-like, yet human features got him an offer by Scotty, but refused.
- It has also been cemented in Hashi's bio as she was cursed by the Nightmare to be a were-boar after attempting to remove a totem the Nightmare clan had placed.
In Hashi's bio, it was revealed that the Jungo formed an alliance with the other environmentally friendly clans, consisting of the Ulu Watu, Komboka, Roots and Frozn clans and called the "Activist Alliance", after the Nightmare clan planted some totems.
- If removing the totems is the sole purpose of this alliance or if they have more on the agenda has yet to be revealed.
