Monkeys were introduced in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm as one of the sapient races on the Lost Isles. Many monkey species are tree-dwelling, although there are species that live primarily on the ground. Most species are also active during the day. diets differ among the various species but may contain any of the following: fruit, leaves, seeds, nuts, flowers, eggs and small animals (including insects and spiders). Monkeys are a distant relative to the pygmy. They have been enslaved by the pygmy race to mine Kaja'mite. The Kaja'mite has affected the monkeys and granted them extra intelligence.
