Trivia

  • One of the space pests that escaped from space prison, extremely ferocious.
  • Mong only acts while the host Doraemon is asleep, so upon awakening, Doraemon returns to normal.
  • Possesses the troublesome trait of fully assimilating after 3 days of parasitization, preventing the host from returning to its original form.
  • Difficult to capture unless frozen; extermination would have been impossible without Nobita's assistance with water balloon equipment.
  • The name "Mong" derives from the characteristic amoeba and tanuki features.
