King Julien XIII is a major character in the Madagascar franchise, the anti-hero of The Penguins of Madagascar, and the anti-heroic main protagonist of All Hail King Julien. He was formerly the King of Madagascar until he decided to join the Zoosters on their way back to New York and ended up landing in Africa instead. In The Penguins of Madagascar, he is the King of The Central Park Zoo (much to his former king status in All Hail King Julien and Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa). He loves to dance and hates it when anyone touches his feet because one time someone stepped on his feet. Maurice is his best friend and Clover is his former bodyguard. He thinks that Mort is annoying. He has a scar from a Fossa ( Pronounced Foosa ) biting his butt in the 1st episode of AHKJ.
