Monkey

Not to be confused with, but related to, the Monkey Game Mode.

Monkeys are most commonly found as NPCs aboard the station, most of which reside in pens in Genetics and Chemistry, but they can be controlled by players. They used to show up in the Game Mode bearing their namesake, where they were viral in nature and exist to infect humans. This game mode was sadly discontinued because it was shit. However, it is possible to become a monkey outside that mode via admin fuckery or skilled genetic modification by the Geneticist.

Becoming a Monkey

Should you want (for some reason) to become a Monkey, you should visit Genetics and ask. Some things to keep in mind:

• Monkeys have very low health, and will die very easily if exposed to an area with no oxygen.
• Turning someone into a monkey also gives them a very large amount of toxins damage, which will kill you unless you are given anti-toxin.
• In an emergency, you can be understood by someone in a sleeper. You can also understand humans while in a sleeper. Should the Geneticist grab you and try to drag you somewhere, this is why.

Abilities and Restrictions

• Can only wear items in the Mask and Back slots. Hands are unaffected.
• Can move over Tables unimpeded, and hide under them by clicking on them with a free hand.
• Cannot understand speech of other races, which shows up mostly as asterisks.
• Cannot be understood by other races when speaking.
• They are fast, and tend to be hard to hit due to smaller sprite.
