White Pants Ninja Pipo Monkey of The Ape Escape Series.

Detailed Wiki Lore:

Wiki Lore Detailed Info:

Pipo Monkeys (ピポサル), sometimes just called Monkeys (サル) and Apes in Ape Escape, are ordinary monkeys under the control of a mass produced helmet called the Peak Point Helmet. Being the main symbol of the whole Ape Escape franchise, they appear in every game and all other Ape Escape-related media. They have gained many cameo-roles in other non-Ape Escape related media. There are currently eight different known types of Pipo Monkeys.

Behavior and Appearance

Pipo Monkeys are brown apes with tan mouths, feet, and hands. They have big round eyes and usually very simplistic expressions. Depending on the type, they may have a certain expression or item different from the common yellow pantsed apes. Each Pipo Monkey wears a Pipo Helmet.

They are very simpleminded when compared to Specter's way of thinking. As a result, they seem to only speak their own ape language, which comes out as "Ukki". When they feel threatened, they can attack their assailant by using random items at their disposal such as banana peels, rocks and other violent weapons they may possess such as bombs and machine guns. They can even flail their own arms as a means of defense. There are also many other different monkeys throughout the series that have their own ways of fighting back against their enemies.

These little apes also have human-like behaviors. They eat, sleep, drink, play and do whatever they want. The pipo monkeys can even operate all sorts of vehicles which they use to attack the player and make it more difficult to be caught. Their specific behavior can be easily identified by analyzing their pants' color, their gear or their suits.

Pants color

The color of a Pipo Monkey's pants can give a glimpse on the monkey's personality and behavior.

• Yellow: The most common color a Pipo Monkey can be seen wearing. There isn't any extra feature or item shown. These apes can usually be caught easily, although this varies, especially since some wield weapons such as laser guns.

• Light Blue: Sad little Pipo Monkeys that are very nervous and skittish, should you get too close. They often have below average stats except for alertness and are often considered weak and wimpy because of this. However due to their fearful nature, they often have good hiding spots in levels.

• Blue: These Apes wear running shoes, goggles and scarves. They usually have very high speed stats and are quite fast at moving around in comparison to others. Can also sometimes throw banana peels. In the first game, their eyes were revealed to be the same shape as the Pipo Monkeys wearing light blue pants.

• Red: Tough monkeys with a lot of fire power! In the first game, they used a combination of machine guns, missiles, and bombs. In later installments this was changed to them wearing boxing gloves, and they aren't afraid to beat you up when you get too close! Their attack (aggression in Ape Escape 2) is usually higher than other monkeys.

• Black: Distinguished by their black tie and sunglasses, these monkeys carry submachine guns, and the very moment they notice you, they will fire their guns. They can't move nor turn around while firing,making their backs especially vulnerable. They also tend to have decent attack or aggression stats.

• White: Spiral-glasses wearing Monkeys. They had the highest alert rate of all in the first game, known for their ability to spot the player, but in later installments their alert rate was lowered and they became known for struggling to spot the player. In addition, they have the ability to throw bombs. As the first game reveals, their eye shape is the same as the ones wearing yellow pants.

• Green: Apes wearing special sight goggles and a backpack that can fire missiles. They seem to be more into technology and currently have the highest alert rate.

• Pink: Only appearing in Ape Escape Move. They are almost like Yellow Pants Pipo Monkeys, but with thinner eyes. They can throw items at the player character. They have a pink item pack worn around their necks and seem uneasy.

• No Color: Monkeys that wear unique costumes, this making the color of pants they wear (and the type of monkey they are) impossible to tell. While most of them will still have the properties of whatever type they are, others use the properties of their costume they wear to their advantage. These kinds of monkeys are represented by a pants icon with all the possible pants colors but with a question mark at the side of it.

Monkepedia

Stats and information on individual pipo monkeys is stored in-game in a monkey book or monkepedia. See Monkepedia for more information.

Secret Monkeys

Certain monkeys require certain gadgets and abilities to find, and can't be encountered on the first play-through of a level. These have been referred to as secret monkeys or rare type monkeys. For more information see Secret Monkeys.
