In the case of MK being in the Tiger Monk Au; he thinks Baba Tang's parents are kinda odd but cool!

Granddad Jiangliu is a really old-fashioned religious type, and lives somewhere really pretty with Baba's older siblings. Granddad is quick to correct MK when he's a little too loud, but stops himself from getting too upset at the little monkey's boundless energy. The skinny tiger demon is calming presence in MK's life, and helped introduce him to rarer stories involving the Monkey King and the Pilgrims. MK wonders how Granddad knows so many cool stories?!

Uncle Boguang is like Granddad in that he's religious, but he travels a lot and comes home with gifts for everyone from whatever city/temple he's been staying at. He has this giant fluffy mane that he keeps trying to keep short, and MK wonders if he'll get whiskers as luscious as him some day!

Auntie Wenhou is involved in a lot of city-political stuff, so she has to plan family visits in advance. She teasingly treats her youngest brother as if he's still a cub, which frustrates Baba terribly. She always seems to know what to say to make people feel better, including her favourite nephew ("But auntie, I'm your only nephew!").

Gonggong Lion is the hardest to get a hold of since he's the mayor of a big city or something (Auntie Wenhou helps him a lot), but he's always overjoyed to see his cubs and littlest monkey. He has a deep laugh and wears his heart on his sleeve, always showering Granddad Jiangliu with affection and praise as the tiger-monk blushes terribly. Gonggong used to be part of a group of warriors a long time ago with Uncle Wu and Mihou, and he's retired from fighting since meeting Granddad. MK met the other warriors once when Baba and Dadsy took him on a city trip to Lion Camel Ridge - Mr Yellow Tusk is really nice, but Peng can be a bit mean.

Uncle Wu lives on an island not too far from Megapolis, so he visits the store a lot. MK isn't sure why him and Wu are the only monkeys on Baba's side of the family, but he doesn't want to pry. Uncle Wu is loud and excitable like MK is, but is really nerdy like Baba is. Wu in particular likes medicines and making people feel better. He gets along the best with Dadsy.

Uncle Mihou is Uncle Wu's mate and he works in the city as an theatre director. He tells all sorts of stories, not only about the Monkey King and his companions, but of Baba when he was little! Mihou has really cool powers and wants to teach MK some day, but Uncle Wu is clearly a hesitant to promise.

The family has some sort of "argument" that happened a long time ago, so tensions are high between Uncle Wu and Gonggong Lion and his friends. Apparently a dear family friend (maybe even another uncle?) had to go to jail and it messed the family up badly. MK really hopes he can help make things better somehow...
