Sentient monkey

The first sentient monkey on Earth was Chester, aka Space Monkey. His attempt to foment revolution among his monkey brethren resulted in the Evolite Serum being distributed to many other monkeys.

Since early 2055, sentient monkeys live and work amongst humans in some areas in the United States. They live in small communities and their population is minute compared to humanity. The majority of them live on Monkey Island.

Officially, sentient monkeys are full United Earth citizens. However, they are subject to social discrimination and usually perform manual labor and low-paying jobs, much like illegal immigrants.

Sentient Monkeys are brown-furred with tails. They are usually two to three feet tall. Psychic monkeys are brightly colored, either blue, green, or orange. Purple Monkeys are quite rare. Sentient Gorillas range from nine to twelve feet tall and usually have significantly bulked up muscular compared to ordinary gorillas. There are no known Gorilla psychics.
