Biography[]
During the beginning of the film, Savva’s village was attacked by the hyenas who capture the humans in an effort to sell them to Ma Jozee.
In her lair, she showcases her cruelty by using a subject as a dart. Her daughters, Zee and another, engage in a conversation, revealing their unique dynamic. Upon learning that Savva, Puffy, and Fafl are visiting the magician, Ma Jozee sends torpedoes to spy on them.
She discovers that the Rockies are also investigating and declares war on them, seeking to prevent the white wolves from transforming back. Ma Jozee and her family lead the monkeys into battle against the Rickies and heroes.
However, the Mosquito King's change of heart leads to a betrayal, and Ma Jozee's army turns against her. The dragon captures her, forcing her family to retreat in defeat. Later, Ma Jozee attempts to negotiate with the dragon, offering him leadership, but he refuses to no avail.
In a final twist, Puffy's wish to the magician results in Ma Jozee and her daughters being worshipped as gods by a native tribe, who are currently under their control. The same tribe, who once mistakenly captured Puffy, now obey Ma Jozee's commands, much to her daughters' delight.
