My theory about Devil Monkeys, is that the lineage of Neotropical primates (platyrrhine) or also called New World monkeys, may have developed a larger representative, similar to a baboon, through convergent evolution, one that has migrated in North America, adapting to the Appalachian climate, since although many believe that the apes are only from tropical climates, there are the Japanese macaques which are adapted to a cold climate.

I have a bio for you. They are theropithecus monkeys related to gelada monkeys. They live in open country and graze. Females live in rightly knit units and a single male holds a tenureship where he can mate freely for about 3 years before the sisterhood finds a stronger male to replace him. Old males stick around as babysitters.Β

Jumps pretty far documented reports have it slaughtering trained police dogs.Β

Some accounts describe it as a rather massive Baboon

But most just describe it as a primateΒ

Probably, yes. I will be revising this with a better drawing eventually.

The Devil Monkey is an underrated cryptid.

This should be in a rpg like Al-Qadim (D&D arabian nights style setting)

You think so? Why? It's an American cryptid.

monkeys oddly featured frequently in such tales, as apes

Oh, right. Like in the Sindbad story.

You should do a sketch of a bipedal canid as well. I wouldn't attribute all the dogman to dog-like primates, especially with the sightings I've read. This also kind of reminds me of a Blangonga from Monster Hunter XD

I believe the dogman sightings are a combination of things: Canids, Sasquatch and Devil Monkey. But, I really havn't done a lot of research on them.

I have, mostly because I've had a few sightings of my own. Some friends and I have been seeing a 7 foot tall bipedal wolf creature for around 4 years now. And oddly enough, we now have a Sasquatch too. I've been trying to catch both of them on film for the longest time.

Cool. Where do you live?

Georgia, near Woodstock. I live about a mile from Lake Allatoona, so there are hundreds of acres of forest all around here. Apparently there's a lot of Squatch activity near Red Top Mountain, which is a short ways up the lake.

Cool. Sounds like a neat place.

I'm watching a show called Lost Tapes on Animal Planet now that has to deal with the Devil Monkey. It's quite interesting!
Love the drawing!

Thanks.
There's a Devil monkey episode?
π: 0 β©: 1
No problem.
Yes, there is. It was on last night at, I believe, 10:00 PM Eastern Standard time (in US, not sure what it would have been your time). I could look on Youtube and see if they have it...or check the Animal Planet website and see when it's coming on again and let you know.

Thank you. I'm not a big Lost Tapes fan, but I might have to check this out.

You're welcome. I think it said on the Animal Planet Website that it was going to be on October 19th at 10:00 PM eastern standard time, but you might have to check out the site to make sure. You're welcome and I hope you enjoy the show.
