Zombie Monkey


 * For the monkey enemies in Ascension, see Space Monkey. For other uses, see Monkey



The  is a new Zombies enemy seen in "Shangri-La". They appear whenever a powerup is dropped. They go for the power-up, running towards the Pack-a-Punch Machine, changing the powerup as they run. They cannot change the power-up to a Death Machine. However, they can change a power up into a Random Perk Bottle for a very brief period of time.

They are worth 500 points if a player knifes them before they attack, but only 10 points if the player shoots them.

Behavior
The monkeys stay perched on top of the sides of the stairs leading up to the Pack-a-Punch Machine. When a power up is dropped, they will howl wildly and one will run towards it. When they have it, they will run up to the top of the temple. They also have very low health as a simple knife attack will kill it. If a player gets a power up before a monkey gets it, the monkey will attack the player once, then run away.

Achievements

 * Monkey See, Monkey Don't (5g) - In Shangri-La, get something from the monkeys.

Trivia

 * Zombie Monkeys are the weakest zombies to date, dying instantly from any damage.
 * They are seen perched on walls in the spawn room, and even though players may kill them, another one will just spawn to take a power-up when it is dropped.
 * Killing Zombie Monkeys that are perched on walls in the spawn room will not give any points.
 * These are the first zombies that don't have their health increase in some way, as all other zombies have their health increase as the rounds increase.
