One of the original three Mutants to find themselves stranded on Third Earth, Monkian is true to his name - a powerful warrior, Monkian is at his best and most deadly in the treetops, where his agile climbing and swinging ability is able to come to the fore. Because of his more ape-like tendencies, Monkian's treetop skill is matched by a natural aggression, and this selfsame aggression causes Monkian to possess a lower level of intelligence than the other Mutants, which in turn causes them to look down on him. However, Monkian is nonetheless as ambitious and ruthless as his cohorts, and both allies and foes would underestimate him at their peril.
