Pecker

Pecker is a character in Jak II, Jak 3, and Jak X: Combat Racing. The only example of his species—the moncaw, a hybrid of the monkey and macaw—to be featured in the Jak and Daxter series, he is introduced as the interpreter for the mute, blind soothsayer, Onin in Haven City. He would later become an adviser to Damas, king of Spargus, and was subsequently hired in Kras City as co-anchor to G.T. Blitz on the G.T. Blitz Show. All the while, Pecker would relay instructions from his companions to Jak and Daxter, or in the latter case, provide insider information.

Pecker is regarded by his companions for his wisdom, probably due to his old age, making his series introduction at 116 years old. He often finds himself in roles pertaining to trafficking information and advising important people. However, he has always been at odds with Daxter, with whom he has an ongoing rivalry, as both have tendencies towards sarcasm and a short temper.

Although Pecker is the only moncaw seen in the series, he mentioned flocks worth of his kind. He is also the only character in the series with a known mother, though she was only mentioned. Moncaws represent one of only three known non-human sapient species in the series, accompanied by ottsels and babaks.
