He showed selflessness when he encouraged Susan to abandon them to save herself on the evil alien's ship and they were able to save the planet and no longer seeks the recognition as a monster. The death of his friend jolts Links to act and save the world from the invasion of Gallaxhar. In spite of this, Link regains his confidence during Susan's speech and when Insectosaurus' was killed. Where he usually boasted about his plans to scare people, he quickly became saddened over the realization that he had ultimately lost his mojo over the years. This is also displayed by his behavior around the Murphy's house. Doctor Cockroach notes that in spite of all his tough talk earlier, Link was outshone and no longer the monster he used to be, depressing him greatly (although at the same he tried to pass it off as sleep deprivation). Having desired combat initially, Link was exhausted before he ever reached the battle and because of this he was the only monster to not contribute to the robots defeat Susan's heroism and strength being the only cause of their success. However, after stopping the robot probe from destroying San Francisco, a change in Link's character can be witnessed. He was so upset by Insectosaurus' supposed death that it caused him to break from his macho act and break down in tears.
He is the only one who can understand him and his feelings. Of all monsters, Link has the closest bond with Insectosaurus. when he was turned into a bomb by Doctor Cockroach. as they hid the news that The Invisible Mam had died for twenty years as to spare him from that pain and seemed concerned what would happen to B.O.B. Both he and Cockroach were protective towards B.O.B. He did consider Cockroach a quack and often mocked his failures yet they were shown to be friendly enough to play cards together. Despite his arrogance, Link was friendly with his monsters trapped inside Area 51. His boastful side was evident around Susan, whom he was somewhat attracted towards such as when he claimed to have done one thousands weights in her presence when he was actually exhausted over having done eight. When introduced, Link was arrogant about his many feats and became so stir-crazy for action that he was overconfident enough to claim he could defeat the giant robot terrorizing San Francisco by himself and later eating his words over realizing its size and defenses. Unlike his fellow prisoners - such as Doctor Cockroaches constant escape plans and B.O.B.'s lack of concern for his captivity - Link was more pessimistic and thought that there was never going to be any escape due to the monsters that have died imprisoned and the constant routine failures of Doctor Cockroach's escape plans. And also the Life Guard' ” ―Susan Murphy and The Missing Link ĭespite being one of the most fearsome monsters in his prime, The Missing Link grew older, surly and developed what appeared to be a beer-gut when captured due to his lack of exercise and activity in his imprisonment regimen. You hardly need an introduction you're the Missing Link! You personally carried off 250 co-eds off Cocoa Beach, and still had the strength to fight off the National Guard!
