Monkeys

Template:CharacterboxMonkeys are minor foes in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, found in Scorch. They escaped from the Avalar Zoo and are found hanging from the palm trees, throwing coconuts at anyone that gets near them.

Hunter the Cheetah challenges Spyro by instructing him to charge at the trees making them fall, letting Hunter catch them in a basket. Hunter rewards Spyro with an Orb for his efforts.

They make an appearance in Spyro: A Hero's Tail at the Secret Area in Dragonfly falls but appear blue with black stripes and white hands and feet. They're perched on 3 wooden platforms where they attempt to throw white coconuts at Spyro.

Trivia

• If Spyro is too fast, the monkeys will hit the ground and simply bounce up back in the tree again. If Spyro is too slow, the monkey will throw a coconut at Hunter, making him start the challenge over.
• In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, if Spyro gets hit by a coconut or gets too close and gets hit by their arms, the monkeys would hoot happily as they twirl 360 degrees around.
• Should Spyro use electric breath on the monkeys, they'll holler very loud until they're defeated.
• If Spyro charges at a monkey after using ice breath on it, the monkeys won't disappear and be left a pile gems as they will be defeated in the same way as being flamed or charged at.
