The Quickdrawer is the detachable core of the Temple of the Monkey God's defense system (see below), and also acts as a scout of sort for that defense system. As The Monkey enter the temple to attempt to get an artifact (the Hominic Sunshine) for the army, Quickdrawer sensed his presence and decided to stop him, because the artifact can only go to the hand of the one worthy enough to be able to defeat it.
