Hello! Welcome to the second installment to my Madagascar series! Today’s character, as requested by popular demand, is none other than the original King Julien!
King Julien, Mort & Maurice
The original King Julien moves it, moves it through the enemies by using his world class dancing skills, his kingly charm and by using his followers Mort & Maurice to cause chaos on the field.
“Don’t play dumb with us. We’re better at it.”
King Julien, Mort & Maurice are a Red Midline Control Trio

Other Notes
-
It was hard to figure out how to do Julien’s kit since he doesn’t really do much to warrant a kit
aside from being one of the most iconic characters in cinema history. But on watching the Penguins of Madagascar show more, you see he, Mort and Maurice are a unit and they do almost everything together. So the kit was much easier to create from there. And of course, you gotta have him dance. Julien loves dancing! -
Speaking of dancing, his Red Skill name is in fact a reference to both the Just Dance game and the Lady GaGa song. Both of which I love. In very different ways, of course. But I figured Julien would need a fun name for a red skill and what has more of a fun vibe than Just Dance?. Also, Julien totally would play Just Dance and be friends with Lady GaGa if he was real.

I Like To Move It is one of my favorite songs ever and I actually have a huge story involving it, so using it for the name of his purple skill and making it sort of a overall vibe for his kit was amazing.
PM me if you want to hear that story, but it is embarrassing so be warned.
