The Giant Monkey Head in The Secret of Monkey Island.
Guybrush in-examine Giant Monkey Head.
The Giant Monkey Head is a doorway to the legendary treasure Big Whoop, the doorway itself shaped as a Monkey's head. It also served as an underground fortress for LeChuck and his ship.
History[]
SoMI, LeChuck's Revenge and CoMI[]
The Head is found in a clearing where a fence is set up. Guybrush Threepwood uses Jojo Sr. to gain access to it. The head was integrated into LeChuck's Carnival of the Damned, where it has become the signature ride, and the method used to convert living beings into the undead via Big Whoop's esoteric powers.
EfMI[]
After LeChuck was free from his icy prison, he realized that that Big Whoop would not be able to sustain itself forever, so he destroyed the demonic carnival, leaving no traces. All that is left is the enormous monkey head that is surrounded by a barren plain. Once Big Whoop ran out of it's energy, the entrance to the Catacombs had mysteriously sealed up after the last time Guybrush visited. Behind the sealed entrance to the Catacombs, the head turns out to be the control room of a robot monkey that can be activated by the Gubernatorial Governor symbol.
