Ape	Origin	Notes
Curious George	Curious George	identified in the text as a monkey, though in the illustrations he does not correspond exactly to any non-fictional species of monkey (and has more of the characteristics of an ape, especially a chimpanzee, or a gorilla, for example in his lack of a tail - though it should be noted that some species of monkeys, such as the Barbary macaque, have little or no tail).
Francine Frensky	Arthur	a tomboy who loves sports, drumming, and singing. She is 8 years old, and she is the best player on her team in just about every sport they play, rivaled only by the Brain at soccer and basketball.
Ozymandias	His Dark Materials	a golden monkey with long fur, who is not named in the books, but was given the name "Ozymandias" in the radio adaptation. A few times throughout the books, the golden monkey is shown to be capable of going much further from Mrs. Coulter than other people's dæmons,
Nkima	Tarzan	a companion and sidekick to Tarzan, sometimes providing comic relief and at other times conveying messages between Tarzan and his allies, and occasionally leading Tarzan's Waziri warriors and other animal friends to the ape-man's rescue.
Sun Wukong	Journey to the West	the Monkey King from classic Chinese literature
