Metakei is a Macroeuphractus who began as a lone wanderer seeking interesting experiences. Finding the Savannah boring, he adopted a defeatist outlook, readily accepting perceived limitations and avoiding challenges deemed futile, such as leaving an animal in peril due to a belief in inevitable failure. He challenged Reed's Savannah leadership but lost the confrontation primarily because of interference from Gon. This defeat became a turning point. Initially dismissing Reed's controlling and helpful nature as foolish, Metakei's perspective shifted fundamentally after witnessing Reed's unwavering determination and refusal to give up, especially when Reed saved Metakei's life. This fostered significant respect, transforming their relationship into a close friendship. Abandoning his solitary ways, Metakei embraced a role within the Savannah community. He started assisting Reed with patrolling duties as a gesture of gratitude for the life debt. His personality evolved towards greater consideration for others; he actively worked to bring Reed back after an absence and orchestrated situations, like arranging encounters with hyenas, to help Reed regain lost confidence. Metakei gradually found enjoyment in Savannah life, participating in group activities and observing events unfold, driven by his desire for interesting experiences, particularly those involving Reed or Gon. He remained blunt and sarcastic in communication, freely expressing his thoughts regardless of harshness. His abilities center on rolling, using his scaly back to curl into a wheel for high-speed movement. This served as his primary transportation and allowed him to function effectively as Reed's messenger. He also demonstrated bravery in combat, willingly fighting adversaries like Don to protect Savannah territory even when weakened.
