History
Skull Island: The Birth of Kong
When the crew of the V-22 Osprey were brought by Ato to the Iwi village, they were given Monkey Juice to treat their wounds. Its healing properties proved viable, as Evenji Medov, who had been mauled by a Death Jackal, made a relatively speedy recovery. Walter Riccio began to overindulge in the Monkey Juice, which made him highly unstable and recieve hallucinogenic visions of Kong's past. Because of these, he began to believe he was chosen by Kong for a higher purpose. This lead him on a pilgrimage which ended in him destroying the Iwi Wall with a Seismic Charge before being killed by Kong himself.
Mechanisms
Monkey Juice must be ingested to take effect.
