Capuchin monkey

The Capuchin monkey was a specially trained monkey of the Monkey Man.

Biography
In 1936, the Capuchin was assigned to follow Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood, and locate the Headpiece to the Staff of Ra be it the piece itself or some similar shape like a on diagram and return it to its master. It was taught that failure would mean it wouldn't get to eat.

When Marion was on the run from the Nazis, she ducked inside a basket and the Capuchin signalled where she was hiding, getting her kidnapped as a result.

The monkey returned to following Jones. At the house of Imam, the monkey's master poisoned a bowl of dates in order to kill the archaeologist, but the hungry monkey grabbed one for itself and died. In doing so it revealed to Jones the murder attempt.

Personality and traits
The Capuchin wore a distinctive red vest and mimicked its master when giving the zieg heil. It would salute in return.
