King Julien

King Julien XIII, commonly called King Julien is one of the main characters in the Madagascar franchise. He is the main titular protagonist of Netflix's All Hail King Julien, the deuteragonist and occasionally antagonist of The Penguins of Madagascar, and a supporting character in the films. He is the King of the Kingdom of Madagascar, ruling the lemur kingdom since his uncle, King Julien XII abdicated in King Me. In the films, King Julien abdicated his throne to join the Zoosters on their way back to New York when they ended up landing in Africa instead. In The Penguins of Madagascar, he is instead the self-proclaimed king of the Central Park Zoo. He enjoys dancing but hates it when anyone touches his feet because one time someone stepped on his feet. Maurice is his best friend/butler and Clover is his former bodyguard and former Captain of the Ring-tailed Guard as well as one of the best friends. Despite despising Mort because he feels that Mort is annoying (mainly because he loves to touch his feet), Mort is a member of his royal circle and King Julien has been very protective of Mort when he's in mortal danger.
