===Physiology===
Mankey, though presumed to be partly named after humans, bears almost no resemblance to them. Mankey more resembles other various primates. It is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|tailed, bipedal}} Pokémon with a round body covered in whitish, messy fur. Mankey's ears are triangular with brown insides, and its arms, two-toed feet, and its curved tail is tipped with brown coloration. Mankey has a nose similar to a pig’s snout, and its hands appear to be curled into fists at all times.

====Gender differences====
Mankey specialize in {{m|Close Combat|physical fighting}}, and are very aggressive and short-tempered. Anyone that gets on its bad side (which is easily done), will receive a severe {{m|thrash}}ing. When Mankey starts shaking and its nasal breathing turns rough, it is 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. If Mankey loses sight of its colony, it becomes infuriated by its loneliness.
None.


===Special abilities===
Mankey can be found in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}}. Mankey lives in treetop colonies, and if one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason. They are most common in [[Kanto]], but can also be found in [[Johto]] and [[Guyana]]. Although they are rarer there, they also inhabit [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
The preferred food appears to be {{wp|banana}}s and {{wp|chestnut}}s, although Mankey usually lack the dexterity to peel them. Mankey will get agitated and rage after attempting to peel a chestnut's spiky shell.
