Gleek is a blue "space monkey" and the pet of Zan and Jayna.
Contents |
Like the Wonder Twins, he comes from the planet Exxor. He has a stretchable, prehensile tail which can be quite useful. He is also considerably more intelligence than Earth monkeys. He clearly understands spoken English. He communicates through the use of sign language, acting out scenes, and chattering in an unintelligible alien tongue. Gleek often produces a bucket to hold Zan in his water form.
Gleek is originally the property of a clown in the interplanetary carnival where the Wonder Twins were raised.[1]
