Jackal Queenston originally debuted as a new character for the Mungyodance series, with songs first appearing in an official Addon Pak for MGD 2 and then MGD 3: The Third Rave, released on August 23, 2008. His first album, Rise, included several songs originally made for the Addon Pak.
Due to Nazi accusations, Emma has stated that they have a redesign in the works for Jackal. However, this never came to pass, as he was retired by the end of 2020.
- A Nazi by Any Other Name: Before Squeedge's Metal Slug homage, in older artwork it is seen that Emma wanted Jackal's armband to have a paw insignia, depicting that Jackal is a Nazi Fur.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: His armaband was eventually removed in later art, with Squeedge and Emma agreeing to remove anymore Nazi implications.
