MEET THE BACHELORS

ALPHA OROCHIMARU

Fans of Naruto would be delighted to meet the 10-15 years old Orochimaru who was named after the anime’s villain for his aggressive and opportunistic personality. Alpha of the bachelor’s group which consists around 20-25 bachelors, Orochimaru does not have wives of his own. But his resourcefulness and aggression makes him both a lover and a fighter when it comes to sneaking opportunities with other alphas’ wives.

BETA ACHUK

With so much testosterone going on in a group, running a tight ship would not be possible without his beta, Achuk. Only 5 years old, Achuk divides his time between assisting Orochimaru, and spending time with his favorite caretaker whom he has formed a close bond with. He can be found sitting quietly next to his caretaker under the observation deck at Platform B while keeping a watchful eye on the rowdy bachelors group.

THE LONELIEST BACHELOR

At the edge of the group, the smallest and youngest juvenile male sits quietly away from his fellow bachelors. Having lost his mother during a storm, he was chased out of his family by his alpha father at a young age. Without his mother’s protection, he is forced to join the bachelors with the hope that one day he would find his own family to lead.

CLARENCE’S FAMILY

ALPHA CLARENCE

Clarence is around 10-15 years old and is considered one of the younger alphas. Named after one of the tour guides who has an uncanny ability to imitate the proboscis monkeys’ call, Clarence has the largest family in Platform B with around 20-25 wives. Young and eager to assert himself into the role of alpha, Clarence protects his family with fierce dominance.

ALPHA JACOB

Mellow and gentle, Jacob was the oldest reigning alpha at Platform A.. Leading the biggest family in Labuk Bay, he has 20 wives and a total of 30+ family members. Jacob enjoys the presence of people and would stay very still for his close-ups while he waits for the caretakers to arrive with food.

Update: Jacob had passed away during Oct 2021, bringing his long reign as the undisputed alpha at platform A to an end. A power vaccum had emerged, and several prominent members from the bachelor group are vying to take over his empire.
