Characteristics[]
Ngan Pa is a ruthless and vengeful hunter whose primary goal in life is to kill the yeti that destroyed the Swiss Expedition that he had guided a few years before. He is also happy to take a share of the treasure in the mountains. However, he is a lousy shot, unable to hit the broadside of a barn.
Before Mustache Maniacs Film Co.[]
Ngan Pa first appeared in the LEGO Orient Expedition sets as one of Lord Sinister's partners in crime. He does not have much of a role in the official story and only appeared in the Temple of Mount Everest set. His fate is never revealed.
Outside of the set, he also appeared in an Applebee's kid's menu and some activity books, as well as LEGO Magazine and online in the official animated comics.
Appearances[]
- Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo (2008)
- Johnny Thunder and the Secret of Marco Polo: The Adventure Retold (Not Yet Released)
Trivia[]
- While LEGO's Ngan Pa was never really developed as a character, the Mustache Maniacs Film Co. version is a composite of two characters: Captain Ahab from Moby Dick and Major Koing from Enemy at the Gates.
- Ngan Pa referring to the yeti as "the white ape" is a reference to Moby Dick, where Captain Ahab constantly referred to the title character as "the white whale."
