Xuppu
The playful spirit of mischief that brings laughter and chaos through the Monkey Miraculous.
Xuppu is the Kwami of the Monkey Miraculous, a small, floating spirit that resides within a golden circlet set with a white gemstone. As the embodiment of playful chaos and mischief, Xuppu grants its wielder the power to activate the ability 'Uproar,' which creates random, often comical effects that disrupt enemies. The Kwami is known for its playful and mischievous nature, always seeking fun and laughter in every situation.
- First Appearance
- Season 3, Episode 4: 'Desperada'
Lore & Background
The power of Uproar is not about creation but about causing unpredictable, chaotic effects that can disorient or disable opponents. The wielder must channel Xuppu's playful energy to activate the power, which manifests as a random but harmless disruption—such as making an enemy slip, sneeze, or bounce around. This makes the Monkey Miraculous one of the most entertaining to use, but also one that requires quick thinking and adaptability, as the wielder cannot control exactly what effect will occur.
In Their Own Story
The air in the empty warehouse was thick with dust, illuminated only by the faint glow of Xuppu hovering above Marinette's hand. The small white creature blinked its large eyes, waiting for a command that would change everything. 'I need something to bridge this gap,' she whispered, closing her eyes tight against the fear of failure. She visualized the steel, the bolts, the perfect arc of the beam. With a soft chime, Xuppu shimmered, and suddenly, a sturdy metal walkway materialized out of thin air, solid and real beneath their feet.
Reader's Guide
The Rabbit Miraculous is an ancient artifact originally crafted by the Order of Guardians to protect the balance between creation and destruction. It takes the form of a simple golden ring that transforms into a tiara or remains as jewelry depending on the user's style. When activated, it houses Xuppu, the Kwami of Creation, who grants the power 'Creation'. The unique ability allows the holder to create any object they can clearly imagine, from simple tools to complex machinery. However, this power is strictly limited by the user's mental capacity; if they cannot visualize the item in detail, it will not appear. Additionally, created objects are temporary and often vanish after a short duration or upon the transformation ending. Throughout history, notable users include Rena Rouge (Alya Césaire) during her brief tenure as a protector of Paris, who used the power to create distractions and traps. The ring has also been wielded by other heroes in different timelines, always chosen for their ability to think outside the box.
