Kinger

Kinger is an alder wood-colored king chess piece. He has cartoonish white hands detached from his body and two round realistic blue eyes unevenly placed on his face. He wears a violet royal cloak with white fuzzy lining spotted with dark brown.

Kinger is shown as erratic and paranoid, unable to commit acts of bravery. He also seems to have gone crazy from his time in the circus, as shown when he starts acting randomly. He is implied to be absent-minded since he seems to often forget the fact that people are near him and are startled by them. Like Gangle for example. Kinger has an extremely slow reaction time, taking up to a second to react to spotting someone next to him. Kinger also seems to be interested in insects, since he is shown to ramble about an "insect collection" at times. However, despite his crazed and cowardly nature, Kinger might have at least enough sanity to not abstract and is shown to have a brave and kind side to him, as shown when he was willing to save Zooble from the Gloinks.

Kinger is introduced in the beginning theme song, in which Pomni knocks Jax into Kinger. This results in Kinger pushing over Gangle, breaking her comedy mask. Kinger seems to stay in a pillow fort he calls his "Impenetrable Fortress." He comes out of it when Jax says that Kinger's been in the circus the longest out of them. He comes up to them and asks if somebody said something about an insect collection. A few moments later, he appears to be hiding in his Impenetrable Fortress, which gets stolen by the Gloinks. Afterward, he starts explaining how he thinks Kaufmo has gone insane, saying he was rambling about an exit. Kinger compares Kaufmo and Pomni, saying she might be going insane too. Pomni points out that it could mean it is more likely that an exit exists.

Kinger gets paired up with Gangle to go save Zooble by Jax, which Kinger starts to gradually twitch violently. He gets startled when he sees Gangle, having forgotten she was there. Later in the episode, Gangle and Kinger appear to be looking down at a hole, with Zooble distantly screaming. Kinger forgets why they're there, saying he doesn't know what he's looking at. Gangle explains that they saw The Gloinks carry Zooble down there, and Kinger thanks her for the recap. Kinger seems to get startled by Jax's appearance, and then tells them they found "The Zooble Hole." A few moments later, Jax throws a bowling ball at Kinger, in response, Kinger grabs Gangle, dragging her down the gaping massive hole with him. Jax boings in after them.

After a bit of tumbling down a slide in the massive hole, they enter the Gloink Queen's nest. As of seeing The Gloink Queen, Kinger says, "An insect collection?" Gangle corrects him, and he gets startled by her again, screaming. A few moments later, after Jax refuses to save Zooble as they get carried by, Kinger and Gangle do rock-paper-scissors to see who will rescue Zooble. Kinger wins but runs off to go save Zooble anyway. He grabs Zooble's head, but his hands just stay attached to it. He watches casually as Zooble is swallowed by The Gloink Queen, as they yell at him for being "a motherf-" and being abruptly cut short afterward by the Gloink Queen swallowing them. When The Gloink Queen spits out Zooble after an Abstracted Kaufmo falls onto her, Kinger, having been thrown against the cave by Zooble's head, asks if they experienced a game show in there. He can be seen carrying their head until after they return to the Tent, with Zooble telling him that they thought he would be next to Abstract, and he thanks them joyfully. Kinger can be seen in the end scene eating the big digital feast with the other performers.

As previewed in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE, Kinger is seen desperately and aggressively trying to pin someone else down with the buttstock of a shotgun.

He is the oldest and tallest character in The Amazing Digital Circus.[2] He and Zooble are the only characters that don't have a mouth. He has been in the Circus longer than any of the other characters, which Jax believes is why he's the most psychologically unstable of them all.[3] Even Zooble believes that Kinger would have been the first one to abstract due to his paranoia. Both his and Bubble's reveal teasers are connected. He had a pillow fort, which Kinger named his "impenetrable fortress" that he would hide in to protect himself. His hands can be pulled away endlessly, as seen when he grabs Zooble in the PILOT. One of the crossed-out performers in the "PILOT" resembles a dark queen chess piece with a red robe, who is confirmed to be named Queenie.[4] Considering that Queenie's icon is crossed out, it's implied that she abstracted before the events of the PILOT. In the "PILOT" after Zooble gets spit out of the Gloink Queen, he asks whether she experienced a game show in the former's stomach. This is a reference to the Gastral Giveaway in Gooseworx's previous projects "Little Runmo" and "Elain the Bounty Hunter". It changes in the Latin American dubbing, saying "You didn't experience a Turkish novel in there, did you?" in reference to Maureen Herman (Zooble's voice in Latin America) has dubbed many Turkish series into Latin Spanish. He seems to be interested in insect collections, as he went out of his way to peek out of his pillow fort because he thought he heard someone say something about them. Kinger knows how to play chess
