Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Monty fromCity Folk.

Monty is a white monkey with a washed-out blue face, hands, feet, and tail tip. He has yellow eyes that are half-closed, pink cheeks, and the inside of his ears are orange.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of thecranky personality. For more information, clickhere.

As acranky character, Monty is quite bitter and out-of-touch with social trends. He gets along fairly well with snooty and lazy characters, as well as other cranky animals. Although Monty may appear unfriendly in the start, if the player extends a friendly hand, they can expect similar treatment in return, possibly resulting in the player obtaining his portrait.
