The Double King is the titular main protagonist of the 2017 YouTube video of the same name created by Australian animator Felix Colgrave.

He is a monarch who abandoned his kingdom and subjects to seek for crowns of other kings and queens to steal, even though it means murdering them in the process.

Design[]

The Double King is a large hunchbacked creature with two giant hands and feet, two eyeballs and wears a grey-blue shirt with buttons and a maroon cape with a blue hem.

Personality[]

While the Double King never speaks a word, it is shown that he is an egotistical, power-hungry tyrant on the hunt for any crown he sees, willing to kill for his goal. He has no care for anyone or anything aside from growing his collection of crowns (or rather, his collection of what he sees as a crown, since he could not figure out how to add Durt the Mushroom Elder's crown to his collection) as after he was taken to the underworld, he did not seem to notice that he was dead and only noticed that he had no crown. He is also shown to be mentally unstable, as he mutilated his own finger when he noticed it had a crown (the small crown of the deceased Lord of the Flies). The origins of his goal are largely due to the fact that his species are cave dwellers which he utterly despises and thus wants to distance himself from his origins as far as possible. It is possible that the Double King is a narcissist, as thus far his goals seem to be based on inflating his own image and making himself feel more important than others. This is further backed up by the fact that the Double King threw a tantrum when the crown he made from a napkin was taken from him, which he seems to view as an attack on his ego.

History[]

The video starts off with the Double King himself traveling to the castle of the rats for his first victim, the rat's monarch Ratking Augustus the Agreeable. The Double King kills Augustus by ripping his skull out before taking the Ratking's crown and slotting it into his own. When Augustus' subjects come to the Double King's castle to question him, he places a mousetrap in front of them.

Later, Queen Daisy VII's crown falls onto a cloud that becomes King Stratomonarchus, who then brings rain to the ground onto a squash that transforms into Lady Gertrud of Squash, only for the Double King to smash Gertrud on the ground and take her crown of leaves.

The next morning as the Double King is having an egg for breakfast, Lady Gertrud's crown rots away and spawns flies. The Lord of the Flies emerges from it and tries to depart with the rotten crown, but the Double King catches and beheads him and takes his small coronet as a ring. The Double King next killed Harg the Serpent Queen and tried to use her large crown as a throne, but he and the crown topple over and roll down into the ocean. When he comes out of the sea, the Double King pushes Fish King Ronald the Moist onto a rock, stranding him. However, Ronald's coronet turns out to be inhabited by a hermit crab, which jumps into the ocean before the Double King could grab it.

The Double King then attempts to chase after King Aldo of the Glade when he morphs into a butterfly to find the location of the latter's crown, but Aldo has already abdicated the crown and only has keys on him. The Double King then turns around to see the Mountain King Olov. Using a giant castle-like war machine, the Double King attacks Olov and has himself launched into Olov's crown, then shoots at his own war castle to make it back off.

As it turns out, he found a thriving jungle inside the mountain coronet. The Double King explores the jungle and snatches up Durt the Mushroom Elder's crown without killing him, but can't figure out how to add the odd-shaped crown to his collection. The Double King then noticed a cockatoo with feathers that made the shape of a coronet. Believing the bird has a crown, he then started to pursue the cockatoo, eventually getting lost in the jungle and sitting down in dismay. Looking at his hand with the coronet belonging to the deceased Lord of the Flies, the Double King dementedly imagines it as a new monarch to usurp, and cuts the crowned finger off with a knife before hallucinating and eventually dying from blood loss.

The Double King's corpse was then taken to the realm of the dead, where he meets the kings and queens he killed and the matriarch of the realm, Agatha, in a dining room. He takes in the sight of her giant, magnificent crown and tries to steal it (heedlessly trampling the monarchs' feast in the process), but fails over and over due to Agatha using her telekinesis to send him back to his dining seat. After several such attempts he punches Agatha in the eye as he floats past, causing Agatha to furiously slam him back into his seat and make clear that she will not tolerate another try. The Double King then decides to make a crown out of a napkin, only to see the skeletal queen take it and place it on hers.

Enraged, the Double King throws a tantrum, screaming and pounding his fists on the table in fury as his self-made crown was taken from him. With a bit of short convincing from Ratking Augustus and a sigh, Agatha gives up her crown to the whining ruler. Delirious with joy, the Double King runs off with the large crown and escapes the realm of the dead to float away into deep space, and what remains of his fate remains obscured.
