Characters

Pepe Lucho is a minor secondary character featured in the

show ''Gerhard Reinke's Wanderlust''. Gerhard Reinke is initially smitten with Lucho; however, slightly after the revelation of his name, Pepe Lucho begins attacking Gerhard and Amazonian villagers alike. Through its cinematography, it is made to seem as if the diminutive New World monkey is a savage beast. Everyone runs in terror and several shots are fired in a vain attempt to stop the killing. However, several times throughout the episode, Pepe Lucho manages to catch up again to the protagonist. At the end of the show, a memorial is shown: Pepe Lucho (1997–2002) "Keep chasing rainbows".
