Moonie is Planette's best friend in Galleon Galaxy and acts as the main trigger for the Planette boss fight. Moonie is found in Galleon Galaxy.

Moonie will request Yooka and Laylee (in their Space Ship transformation) to fire their cannon at him and blow away some microscopic organisms on his back that are giving him an itch. Unfortunately, Moonie is blown apart by the cannon's projectile, much to the horror of the heroes and Moonie's friend, Planette who then engages in combat with Yooka and Laylee.

Name Origin

The name "Moonie" is a play-on-words of the word "moon" which is what he is. It may also be a reference to his behind, which resembles a large posterior.

Appearance

Moonie is a small moon with many rough craters around his body. He appears to be a gentleman, sporting a monocle and a red bowtie with yellow planets on it. The back half of his body is larger than the front half, and looks very similar to a human behind.

Personality

A genial, friendly sort, Moonie strikes up a pleasant conversation with the pair when first meeting them before politely asking if they would help him with an itch he is incapable of scratching. It is also safe to assume he was a good, attentive friend, as his friend flies into a murderous rage when he is unintentionally and unexpectedly killed by Yooka and Laylee.

Meeting Moonie Moonie: "Evenin'. Nice night for a sail, eh? Sometimes I like to skim the surface of this cosmic shore." Yooka: "It certainly is. You're looking a little low orbit though..." Moonie: "Say, you look like you're packing some hefty cannons there. I've got an itch on my back that I just can't reach. Perhaps some pesky microbial life trying to evolve." "I know a guy who had a bad rash of them for a few millennia. Awful state of affairs that was." "Reckon you could blast it away for me? I'd be really very appreciative." Laylee: "Ok, but don't blame me us if we put another crater in that face." Moonie: "Don't worry about making a crater... My girlfriend thinks they add character."

Trivia

• The idea of accidentally killing someone's spouse or friends is reminiscent of Banjo-Tooie, where Banjo and Kazooie accidentally kill both Mildred and George Ice Cube.
