| 7 | !!Keel |
| 8 | !!!Class: Fighter / Dragon Ape (S-Class Monster) |
| 9 | !!!Abilities: [[MegatonPunch Gahou]], [[LightningBruiser Burst]] |
| 10 | --> "Funky!" |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The main protagonist of the story. Seemingly a human, Keel is actually the legendary Dragon Ape, an S-Class Monster of tremendous power sealed away long ago by Shiva, the greatest Monster Tamer. He seeks to return to his original form, and thanks to Lavie's music he can recover part of his former body. He studied the Musou School of martial arts under Sarah. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Because of his Dragon Ape status he was avoided by everyone when he was just a boy, which lead to a rather crappy infancy. |
| 16 | * AlmightyJanitor: Due to how the Adventurer's system works, he is, for most of the story, a level 0 Fighter (ascended to level 10 by the time of the Eight arc), a level even lower than Lavie's, despite the fact that in his introduction he defeated an A-Class monster with ridiculous ease. [[spoiler:In the epilogue, we learn that he's currently lv 50.]] |
| 17 | * BerserkButton: Has quite a temper, but mentioning Shiva around him is a sure way to get him furious. |
| 18 | * BlowYouAway: Downplayed, in that he can use the scales of his Dragon Ape form to expel huge quantities of air from beneath them; rather than use the gusts to attack directly though he uses them to make his attacks faster. |
| 19 | * BoisterousBruiser: By his own nature, Keel is always eager to fight and elated to partecipate to the tournament in the kingdom of Eight. |
| 20 | * BroughtDownToNormal: Shiva's Fuujinka (Human Seal Song) locked away his Dragon Ape powers, reducing him to a normal human form, but he recovers part of his original power thanks to Lavie's songs. [[spoiler: By the end of the series Diabolos' curse has been removed as a side effect of Lavie's Holy Ray and he's back to being a normal Monkey Tail.]] |
| 21 | * CallingYourAttacks: Either attacks named after his "Burst" technique or the techniques of the Musou School. |
| 22 | * {{Catchphrase}}: He has two: he'll often say "Funky!" upon winning a battle, and he'll usually threaten his opponents by saying he'll "send them flying". |
| 23 | * CharacterDevelopment: At the beginning of the series Keel is arrogant, loves fighting and thinks little of humans, preferring monsters over them. His time with Lavie make him gradually evolve in a more heroic figure who's willing to protect humans despite his monstrous nature. |
| 24 | * DeclarationOfProtection: Right before heading to the final battle with the Shikyou, he swears to protect Lavie |
| 25 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: The Dragon Ape form is actually the result of a curse put by the ancient dragon Diabolos on the Monkey Tail clan, which means that Keel is unknowingly carrying the soul of Diabolos within.]] |
| 26 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Is introduced insulting a statue of Shiva, who has just been described as the hero who sealed the Dragon Ape, and breaking the statue in half with a single punch in spite of his scrawny appearence. |
| 27 | * {{Expy}}: He has a number of similarities with [[Manga/FairyTail Natsu Dragoneel]], but according to the author he's based on [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Sun Wukong.]] |
| 28 | * FantasticRacism: At the start of the series he thinks little of humans and openly despises them. He gets better. |
| 29 | * FashionableAsymmetry: For most of the manga he can only transform his right arm into that of the Dragon Ape. |
| 30 | * FieryRedhead: He has red hair to match his temper and BloodKnight tendencies, though at least he doesn't have fire powers. |
| 31 | * GenreSavvy: When Lavie reads Shiva's journal and finds the page detailing the story and powers of the Dragon Ape, he promptly tears the page out and eats it, to keep his weak points a secret. |
| 32 | * GratuitousEnglish: All his Dragon Ape abilities are named in English. By contrast, the Gahou is in Japanese. |
| 33 | * IWasBeatenByAGirl: Downplayed, but Keel is definitively not happy to learn that not only Kuron the Black Dragon wasn't fighting him seriously, but also that she's actually a young girl. |
| 34 | * IntimidationDemonstration: In his debut, he coerces two thugs into giving him info on Shiva by bending a lightpost by punching it in front of them with a DeathGlare. |
| 35 | * ItsPersonal: He's furious at Shiva for sealing his powers away and forcing him in a human body. |
| 36 | * JerkassHasAPoint: While unnecessarly rude about it, he rightfully points out that Lavie and Mippi are completely unprepared for an adventure early on. |
| 37 | * LightningBruiser: His Dragon Ape arms are gigantic, but thanks to the air bursts he can move surprisingly fast to avoid attacks and hit. |
| 38 | * MegatonPunch: For most of the series, his technique involves punching enemies really really hard with his gigantic Dragon Ape arms. [[spoiler: A single ''Gahou'' carrying the will and spirits of all his friends and allies is what he uses to finally defeat Shiva.]] |
| 39 | * MonkeyKingLite: Being based on Sun Wukong, Keel shares a number of similarities: used to be a powerful, simian-themed creature defeated by a powerful warrior with a divine theme, his necklace has the same ornament as the Golden Circlet and his companions resembles Tripitaka, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. The author mentioned that his ''Burst Dash'' technique (in which he shoots steam from the legs to jump) is meant to evoke the Cloud Somersault. |
| 40 | * PartialTransformation: Since his power is sealed, Keel is only able to manifest his Dragon Ape powers in his right arm. As the story progresses he unlocks the other arm and the tail. [[spoiler:He goes all out in the final battle against Shiva.]] |
| 41 | * PetTheDog: When team Miracolous lose control of their Mecha (damaged by Keel's attack), he goes out of his way to save them both, and even when they're angrily yelled at by the audience he still affirms that they did a good job. |
| 42 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Never bothered to clear things up with the Monkey Brothers, causing them to think he murdered their foster mother. |
| 43 | * TheProtagonist: The main character of the story who gets more focus since chapter 1. |
| 44 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Fan, for putting his devotion to his master and his vengeance against the Musou School above his own desires. |
| 45 | * RedOniBlueOni: Dynamic, emotive, loud Red Oni to Blue's... Blue Oni. |
| 46 | * TheReveal: Near the end, the true nature of his Dragon Ape form is explained by Shiva: [[spoiler: long ago, the evil Dragon Diabolos fought the Monkey Tail tribe and was slain. As a DyingCurse, he put a spell on the tribe, so that once every 100 years one of their children would become a "Dragon Ape", carrying his destructive powers and darkness-tainted soul into the world. Should Keel regain his form as he wishes, he'll become a mindless monster.]] |
| 47 | * TheRival: He develops a fierce rivalry with Blue as the story proceeds. |
| 48 | * SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler: The Dragon Ape form is actually a sign that Keel carries the soul of the ancient evil dragon Diabolos inside him.]] |
| 49 | * ShapeshifterModeLock: Thanks to the Heavenly Ring around his neck, Keel is stuck in human form. He can regain parts of his Dragon Ape form |
| 50 | * SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious: [[spoiler: As an S-Class Monster, he's an excellent treat to the Star Eater, which can increase its power by eating powerful monsters and targets him specifically.]] |
| 51 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: The Dragon Ape is actually a result of the curse of the evil Dragon: the more he reverts to his former identity, the more savage and uncontrollable he becomes.]] |
| 52 | * TailSlap: The second Dragon Ape feature he managed to release is his tail, allowing him to use it to slap his enemies, maneuver better in midair or to [[BewareMyStingerTail impale them on the spike at the end.]] |
| 53 | * TrademarkFavouriteFood: While he's a BigEater, he adores bananas above all else. To the point that the monster entry for the Dragon Ape suggests using them as a DeliciousDistraction to avoid fighting him. |
| 54 | * UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler: When Shiva kills Lavie with one of his black feathers, Keel flies in such a rage he manages to snap the Heavenly Ring and fully transform into a rampaging Dragon Ape. Thankfully, Lavie's soul manage to purify him.]] |

| 76 | * ThePowerOfRock: Her Melodic Magic is performed with a guitar and takes many form. Some of them like ''Fire Soul'', ''Sylph Wind'' and ''Aqua Drive'' can boost the elemental powers of monsters, other can heal or empower such as ''Winning March'' , which is essentially an invoked and InUniverse ThemeMusicPowerUp. Melodies with direct offensive powers do exist, such as "Divine Punishment" (which stuns all nearby monsters). |

| 297 | * CombinationAttack: They can combine their elemental magic into a single devastating attack, the ''Shippujinrai'' (Thunderbolt Gale) |
| 298 | * CriminalDoppelganger: Invoked in the Adventurer's Circus arc where Keel confronts them on their supposed "betrayal" during the Gokuraku arc. They claim that Gold and Silver merely took their appearence to commit crimes to take the group off their backs. |

| 318 | * HopelessSuitor: A big part of Pai's animosity towards Sarah stems from the fact that he's in love with her, but she only agreed to go on a date with him if he could beat her. Suffice to say he couldn't. |

| 321 | * OldMaster: Pai used to train with Sarah and is a formidable opponent on the field. |

| 777 | * SoreLoser: When he was actually defeated by his opponents he cursed their tribe out of spite. |
| 778 | * VillainousLegacy: The curse of the Dragon Ape is the one giving Keel his powers. |

| 784 | A monstrously powerful God Beast from the past, possibly created by humans, the Star Eater is a mindless behemoth who feeds on monsters and grows stronger and bigger with each meal, eventually growing big enough to consume the planet. A group of adventurers managed to seal it away with the Divine Instruments, but Shiva plans to release it to harvest his Core and become a God himself. |

| 787 | |
| 788 | * TheAssimilator: When he devours a monster he's able to manifest all the powers it had. Such as Dakki's Seven Tails. |
| 789 | * BeastOfTheApocalypse: A monstrous Divine Beast which will devour all monsters before turning on the very planet, safely sealed in the past. |
| 790 | * BlobMonster: On its lasts legs, the Star Eater degenerates into a massive, formless mass of slime with arm-shaped tentacles in a final attempt to consume the heroes. The Seven are noticeably disgusted by this form. |
| 791 | * ClimaxBoss: Although located near the end, he's still the major main battle fought by the heroes going all out. |
| 792 | * DefeatingTheUndefeatable: With the combined efforts of the Seven and the heroes, the Star Eater is defeated for real. Just like Shiva planned. |
| 793 | * EldritchAbomination: A gigantic beast of unknown origins existing solely for one purpose: devour all monsters before eating the planet itself. It can assume even freakier forms upon eating monsters. |
| 794 | * ExtraEyes: In its second form, the Star Eater grows a giant eye in the front of the head and several more on the sides. |
| 795 | * EyeScream: That being said, Keel mocks it for growing so many weak spots and bursts one of them open with a punch. Unfortunately it can regenerate. |
| 796 | * HealingFactor: The Star Eater's most dangerous feature its his incredible regeneration, which allows him to recover from anything and can be boosted by eating monsters. |
| 797 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: It has hands for fingers and tongue, giving off this vibe. |
| 798 | * NotQuiteDead: Seemingly decapitated by the Seven after a violent barrage of attacks, the Star Eater suddenly snatches and devours Dakki and other monsters to recover. |
| 799 | * OneWingedAngel: After eating Dakki, it grows into a larger abomination with an elongated skull full of eyes, black wings and skin covered in markings. |
| 800 | * PlanetEater: As the name implies, once he's done eating monsters he'll turn on the Earth instead. |
| 801 | * PowerCopying: It can use all the powers of the monsters he consumed, which is why he targets Keel and Blue. |
| 802 | * ReadingsAreOffTheScale: It's power class is given as "?". |
| 803 | * SealedEvilInACan: Sealed away by a magic melody within the four Divine Instruments. |
