Jin

Jin is the protagonist from Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, a brave young blue-haired boy.

Story
Jin was fishing outside of the Monster World Kingdom when he saw his uncle Nabu flying on a barrel and causing mischief with a magic wand. Nabu casted a curse that transformed everyone in the kingdom into anthropomorphic animals, and Jin's brother Zeke (with the appearance of a small dragon) appeared to warn him of what happened. They follow Nabu to investigate, resulting in Jin being transformed into a pig in Skullrock Beach's lighthouse. After Jin and Zeke arrive in the Village of Lupia, Mysticat attempts to arrest them due to their ties with Nabu, but as they didn't work with Nabu, also being transformed by him and wanting to return to normal, and may be able to help Mysticat in his task, he gives them a chance to clear up Nabu's mess by finding sacred orbs that can undo the curse. Jin volunteers to find the orbs, also hoping to find out what happened with Nabu, believing that he may also be under the effect of a curse.

During his quest, Jin travels to different areas from Monster World and faces many dangers, but also gains new equipments, new powers, and allies that assist him, such as Pepelogoo, Professor Leveratt, and Sir Hoots.

Forms
Note: Pig and snake forms can't use equipments.

Talismans
Except for the Pig form, there is a talisman for each form that grants additional abilities.

Trivia

 * The pig form is a reference to the pig in Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, with his idle animation being originally planned to have him smoking like said pig. His idle animation was later changed to show him switching the side of his eyepatch.
