Editing Monko

:''Monko is a character from the [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

'''Monko''' is a cabbage white butterfly, 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 "'''mon'''shirochou" 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.
