The Yungmun had a wife. A funny thing once happened to him on the way to the Mugawap Gala, and he once bit a hungry man. The Yungmun's one-liners bored a planet to death, and dozed another into oblivion, classifying him as a dangerous threat, though he seemed unaware of his reputation. |

The Yungmun arrived on [[Bznko]], and performed a set for an unappreciative crowd at regular intervals. One such occasion overlapped with the visit of [[Planet Terry]], an intergalactic traveller searching for his parents. When Terry questioned the onlookers why no-one had ever thought to boo him, the Yungmun recoiled. Until this point, [[Bznko bickerers|the locals]] had never been able to recall the word to demonstrate their dislike. |

The Yungmun's shock turned into dismay at his shabby treatment, and decided to leave and never come back. As a parting shot, he told the crowds he could always turn to selling refrigerators to Eskimos. This was met with a chorus of boos. |

The inhabitants of Bznko were so grateful to Terry for driving off the Yungmun that they granted him their highest honour – the literal pick of the litter. {{storylink|The Search}} Later, when Terry and [[Robota]] departed the planet in [[Planet Terry's ship|his ship]] with a "See you in a few months!", two inhabitants responded "Not if we see you first!", prompting the [[hunched dragon man]] to ask if they were a new Yungmun. {{storylink|A Clue}} |
