Book is the hero of the 1987 Action-RPG arcade classic Wonder Boy in Monster Land and its 1989 sequel Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap.

Bio[edit | edit source]

For the longest time, there was a place called Wonder Land. And with its lush forests and azure oceans, it was good. At least until a giant, highly anti-social dragon and its army of monsters popped up and did a little bit of regime change to turn this Wonder Land into Monster Land. With Wonder Land's human inhabitants having gone into hiding, the heroic Book decided that enough was enough, and set out to slay the beast.

After doing exactly that, two things become clear: Firstly, the evil dragon actually was an evil mecha dragon. Secondly, he also placed a curse on Book that turns him into a lizardman. This sets the table for the gaiden title The Dragon's Trap, in which Book learns to take on various different animal forms (WayForward took notice) in order to undo the curse and get his true body back.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Book fought in 8chanmania LXXX. Wishing to use the prize money to buy upgrades for his hourglass, he ran into Groose - and wasn't so impressed with the would-be hero. Despite of his experience when it came to fighting monsters, however, Book got a bit wet when he tried to take on Chaos-0.
