Henry Hatchet (or simply known as Hatchet or Chikkun) is an iconic enemy that appears in about every game of the Bonk series. They're diminutive dinosaurs with brainwashing eggshells that obscure their entire heads. Against their will, they serve King Drool as his primary form of infantry and are ordered to stop Bonk from getting to him. Hatchets are known as "Chikkuns" in Japan and in the U.S. (Bonk's Revenge and beyond).
There's only one type of Hatchet in the first game, but multiple variations come into existence over the course of the series.
Description[]
Bonk's Adventure[]
Hatchets in this game just run toward the players and try to hit them by attacking with their hatchets. Three different colored versions exist, brown, pink, and purple. the brown is the standard one, the pink version is the same as the brown one, but instead they drop meats. The purple versions, introduced later in the game, have the ability to throw hatchets (instead of just swinging them like the 2 previous versions) at the player.
Bonk's Revenge[]
Hatchets have more purposes in the second game as they play more roles and use new attack methods. Hand Bata Chikkuns uses flags, Surfing Chikkuns surf at Bonk, Snow Chikkuns hide in snowmen and explode snowballs when Bonk's close by plus throw snowballs themselves, Tunnel Chikkuns uses pickaxes, Moth Chikkuns uses butterfly nets, Ax Throwing Chikkuns throw axes, and Fishing Chikkuns uses bait to reel Bonk in from water. In the U.S. Release in the instruction manual, they are known as there Japanese name, Chikkun (even though in the game there still known as hatchets as well.)
Bonk 3: Bonk's Big Adventure[]
Much of the Hatchets seen in Bonk 2 come back in this game, with 3 new ones. Bath Chikkuns fly in midair on bath like objects and throw junk at Bonk, Heri Chikkuns fly with a propeller and try to chase Bonk, and Chikkun Bikes ride bikes at a very fast pace and try to hit Bonk.
Super Bonk[]
The Hatchets appear in every level in Super Bonk, though their existence in different time periods is inexplicable. Though it could be said King Drool just used the same time machine he used to fling Bonk though time to fling his own troops through time so they can hinder Bonk's progress.
Super Genjin 2[]
In a turn of events, the Chikkuns are the primary antagonists in this game instead of King Drool, as a group of five Chikkuns have overthrown Drool and imprisoned him in his own castle.
GB Genjin Land[]
They reappears in GB Genjin Land, found during the "Chikkun Tataki" and "Chikkun Mansion" minigames.
Hudson Selection Vol.3: PC Genjin[]
For the sake of both simplicity and revamping the series, the copious amounts of Hatchet types has been reduced to five: the classic red ones; pink ones with flowers on their eggshells; green ones that're stronger; purple ones with devil horns on their eggshells that're even stronger; and mechanical ones that're totally invincible.
