Were-Monkeys

Were-Monkeys are a variant of the Murder Monkeys seen in Dark Deception: Unchecked Limitations, they serve as one of the many enemies seen in the graveyard area of Crazy Carnevil. They later make a returning appearance on the alternative zones of Bearly Buried.

Appearance
Were-Monkeys in their monkey form look like normal Murder Monkeys with a green uniform. In frenzy mode, their eyes turn red and skin turns darker, and their uniform will darken in colour as well. In their wolf form, they resemble large wolf-like animatronics with sharp teeth, yellow eyes, red pupils and black fur.

In Frenzy Mode, the Were-Monkeys' eyes will glow red alongside their windup keys, and their clothing will turn black. Their wolf forms will also possess dark purple fur as well.

In Bearly Buried, these Were-Monkeys are in the Murder Monkeys' Kung Fu skin seen in Monsters and Mortals, where they wear traditional yellow Chinese garment with a black stripe and their bellhop hats is more yellow (referencing Beatrix from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill movie duology).

Personality
The Were-Monkeys have the same murderous personality as the Murder Monkeys.

Powers
In their monkey form, Were-Monkeys have all the powers of normal Murder Monkeys, but also have the ability to transform into their wolf form, which is stronger and faster.

Behaviour
The Were-Monkeys behave exactly like normal Murder Monkeys, relentlessly chasing down the player and always knowing their location. However, every minute they will transform into their wolf form, signalled by a loud howl, in which they gain a speed boost and immunity to Primal Fear. After a minute has passed, they transform back to their normal Monkey form.

In Bearly Buried, the Were-Monkeys' wolf form can perform a spinning attack, which makes them dizzy and vulnerable afterwards. They also can open the parts of their torso, revealing some loudspeakers, and generate a sound wave that is powerful enough to destroy Blow Dart projectiles or knocking the player back in the opposite direction.

Trivia

 * It is implied the Were-Monkeys were murderous werewolves when they were still alive, but kept their werewolf traits. Another possibility is that they are the result of some sort of twisted experimentation. It is speculated that The Professor experimented on them, but were brainwashed by Malak into becoming his minions.
 * If that's true that the Were-Monkeys were murderous werewolves when they were still alive, then it's possible that the world of the living (AKA Earth) must be much more fantastical than it seems.
 * A scrapped file can be found that would've functioned as the Were-Monkey's chase theme. It is just a mashup of 'DK Rap' and 'Who let the dogs out'.
