Monko (モン子) is a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Pieris rapae|{{#if:cabbage white butterfly|cabbage white butterfly|Pieris rapae}}]], but whether that means they are a literal butterfly or an Insectron with a butterfly alternate mode is unclear. Odds are they're female.<ref>"Monko" suggests a female identity as a contraction of monshirochō (紋白蝶, "cabbage white") and ko; ko (子) was a common way to end a female name before the 2000s. The suffix -chan is used for women and anything cute. If Monko is a literal butterfly, -chan is appropriate because it's a cute animal. If Monko is Bigmos's peer, -chan suggests but does not confirm a female identity.</ref> What is known for certain is that Monko knows Bigmos and thinks highly of him. Bigmos values Monko's regard.
