The Janga Owner's Guide
To the owner:
Thank you for purchasing the 'Janga' unit. Please read this instruction manual throughly to ensure many years of happiness and joy with your Janga unit. Namco Inc. is pleased to have brought out the new, revised units, and guarantees that all the bugs in the previous version has been fixed.
-----
Specifications and Aesthetics:
Name: Janga
Alias: Poison Claws
Type: Male, Lunatean Cat (Volk-born)
Age: 38
Manufacturers: Klonoa Works Inc, Namco, Japan
Date of Manufacture: 2002. Last revised in 2005.
Description: Anthro-cat, with purple fur and long, deep purple coat. Pink and lavender muffler, mauve coloured hat with soft felt purple boots. Three long red claws on each hand, which are tipped with poison. Odd-eyed, with one blue eye and one yellow eye. See the 'Mode' section below to see how this appearence can be changed.
Height/Weight: 1m 60cm, thus the tallest model of all units manufactured. Weight unspecified. Unusually tall.
-----
Mode:
The Janga unit has a variety of settings, but to be honest, they make very little difference. You'll still be left with one bad-tempered, grouchy, homicidal manic of a cat regardless of which mode you put him in. But here are the choices - your Janga unit has three settings to choose from.
Mode I. Mischievious and perverted, but not that bad deep down.
Mode II. Bitter, bad and misunderstood because of a love story gone wrong.
Mode III. Purely evil pyromaniac.
This version is the 'Revised' version, but to make the unit safe for users the Janga unit will automatically be set to Mode I. You can change the settings as often as you like. If you long to draw or write, then we recommend the Mode II. Just make sure there are no glass/beer bottles nearby.
-----
Accessories:
The Janga unit will have the following items:
1 Spare hat
1 Butz rifle
3 Bottles of poison
2 Spare boots
6-pack of beer
6-pack of vodka
The items are replaceable, and you can buy more items of your choice. Be sure to buy a lot of the last two items to keep your Janga unit contented. Contact 1-800-NAMCO-CHAR for further information.
-----
Unpacking Procedures:
Your Janga unit will arrive to you in its own protective crate, fresh right from the factory. To keep his moving parts pristine and clean, you might wish to give it a bath and grooming before activating the unit. It is fully recommended you do not activate the unit before the bath and grooming; his feline instincts will reject the contact with water and he is most likely to end up throwing you out of the bathroom. Remember, your unit cannot swim. Do not leave the bath unattended once the unit is activated, and especially if your unit is drunk and thinks your sofa is a chocolate crumble.
Warning: Female owners, married or committed to a partner are recommended to keep your partner out of the house when carrying out this procedure. Namco Inc. does not take responsibility for divorce/fight/injury prodedures due to this.
-----
Operating Your Unit:
Apart from the aesthetic value of your Janga unit, it can also be utilized in many ways.
Model: When in Mode I or II, your Janga will often complain of heatstroke and take off its clothes. Use this oppurtunity to draw a nude study of him.
Bodyguard: When not drunk, the Janga units are programmed to be skilled and blunt with its claws. One sweep and a slash will rid you of all your troubles (aka. the postman, milkman, next-door loudmouthed neighbour, advertising salesmen...). Of course, the unit first has to be trained for loyalty and control. Often, as it is killing, the unit will start swearing reapeatedly and violently. You must train the unit to control this a little, if not stop it.
Spycam: Your Janga unit has the ability to split itself into fours, and blend naturally into its surroundings. It is possible, but of course wrong and terrible, to attach a camera and microphone to your unit and spy on your neighbour's gossiping.
Warning: Though not as well liked as the Klonoa and Guntz units, there is still some risk of fangirl/Mary-Sue mobbing. But there is nothing to worry about, for the Janga unit will take care of them itself. Just don't be surprised when your unit comes back with blood and intestines all over its coat. Also, this unit must be kept away from the Guntz unit, if you don't want blood on your doorstep.
-----
Interaction and Compatibility with Other Models:
The Janga unit is not a social unit at all, and is generally a loner. However, with close monitoring and certain precautions, it may interact with certain models.
Leorina unit: This unit may be an associate or even an love interest for your Janga unit. However, if the Leorina unit is set to 'Loving the Sexy Golden Hunter' mode, it will not pay any attention to your Janga unit.
Garlen unit: They can socialize, but must be checked regularly, for they are likely to be plotting world domination while your back is turned. When socializing with the Garlen unit, the Janga must be set to Mode I. No exceptions.
Joka unit: Even though this unit might annoy the heck out your Janga unit, the Joka model is the closest friend that your unit will ever recieve. The Joka model can provide the Janga unit with advice, beer, vodka, and possibly bring some children and women so they can have some 'fun'. Alternatively, a Slash Update Kit can be installed in those two units. You will be surprised to learn how kind and caring your Janga can be.
Lolo unit: If the Janga unit is well trained, it may socialize and meet with a Lolo unit. However, this must be closely monitored, because of the Janga unit's tendency to run off carrying the Lolo unit with it. This must never happen, especially if the Lolo unit is not yours. See 'Troubleshooting' to solve this problem.
Also, there are models which the Janga unit must never socialize with.
Guntz unit: Janga units have a natural hatred for this unit. They will fight to the death, and if the latter loses the Janga unit might decide to rape the Guntz unit regardless of whether the Slash Update Kit ver 3.56 is installed or not. If the kit is installed, at least the Janga unit will be a bit more gentle.
-----
Cleaning:
Your Janga model does need frequent cleaning. He'll bathe himself and groom himself as well. So it is no use to try to force him to try to submit to your grooming sessions.
-----
Troubleshooting:
Q: My Janga was walking along the park. It came back two hours later with a very angry look and hasn't spoken since. Also, it keeps muttering profanities. What has happened?
A: Your Janga unit has met a Guntz unit, fought and lost. When your unit lost, it also lost its Butz Rifle, as it was reclaimed by the Guntz unit. That's why your unit is in a terrible mood. Ask no more questions, and leave it be until it comes around. Otherwise he might try to unleash its anger on you.
Q: My Janga unit keeps saying I smell like a human. Why is that?
A: Because your unit is a feline, and undoubtly a very untolerable one, this problem will always exist for it. However, you might be able to stop this by suggesting that it joins you in the shower to ensure you no longer smell offensive.
Q: My Janga unit is remarkably docile, calm and wise, and also looks much younger. It appears slightly shorter than the standard Janga unit, and frequently speaks of phillosophy and doesn't drink at all. Also, my unit has no claws. What is going on? Is it a new version?
A: That is not a Janga unit. It appears you have accidently been issued with a Jillius unit. Unfortunately, Namco Inc. offers no refunds for those accidents.
On the other hand, you have accidently been issued with a Jillius unit. Do you know how useful that unit can be? Why, it's the unit most close to perfection for Namco Inc.! Stop complaining!
Q: My unit suddenly started gagging last night. It's still gagging. What's happening?
A: Your unit is choking on a hairball. Thump its back.
Q: Help! My Lolo unit's gone and I fear that next door's Janga unit is to blame! What should I do? That's a family unit!
A: Oh dear, it seems that the Janga unit has run off with your Lolo unit. No use trying to chase him down. No car or bus or plane can catch him. The best thing to do is to buy a Hero unit, preferably Klonoa, and set him free to rescue the Lolo unit. Also, if you have more money spare, you can buy the Star Medal Heroes special edition (All three Heroes - Guntz, Klonoa and Pango) and set them on the quest.

Last Note:
Your Janga unit is guaranteed to last at least 15 years. Please call 1-800-NAMCO-CHAR often for available updates for your unit.
During the guranteed time, your unit can be exchanged for a new one, but only in the case of malfuctions.
Namco Inc. wishes you a happy time with your Janga unit!
