King Julien the Terrible is a character from All Hail King Julien. Long ago, he ruled the kingdom of Madagascar with fear and intimidation, which nearly caused the genocide of the lemur species (and possibly other animals as well). Luckily, the people fought back and trapped his tail under a rock in a dark cave. Decades later, he would be known as a monster called the Gorch and the lemurs would throw fruit at him so he wouldn't terrorize the kingdom and escape the cave. The fruit kept him to survive, but his tail was too strong for him to cut off.
