Mankey, though presumed to be partly named after humans, bears almost no resemblance to them. Mankey more resembles various primates. Mankey has a round body covered in whitish, messy fur. Mankey's ears are triangular with brown insides, and its arms, two-toed feet, and tail are tipped with brown coloration. Mankey has a nose similar to a pig.
Mankey specialize in physical fighting, but they can sometimes know elemental attacks (though they don't usually excel at them).
Mankey are very aggressive, and short-tempered. Anyone that gets on its bad side (which is too easy to do), will receive a severe thrashing. When Mankey starts shaking, and its nasal breathing turns rough, it's a sure sign that it is becoming angry. However, because it goes into a towering rage almost instantly, it is impossible for anyone to flee its wrath. Mankey lives in treetop colonies, and if one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason. If Mankey loses sight of its colony, it becomes infuriated by its loneliness.
Mankey can be found in vibrant forests, in mountains, or in valleys with rivers running through them.
The preferred food appears to be Chestnuts, although Mankey usually lack the dexterity to peel them.
Considering its pig-like nose, its vestigial tail, and overall personality, Mankey have much in common with baboons.
Mankey's name may be a hybrid of the words "man", and "monkey." It also comes from the word "manky," which means inferior, dirty or worthless, which could be derogatory terms. Another theory is that Mankey's name is a combination of the words "mad", and "monkey," due to this Pokémon's contrary, and aggressive personality.
