Infernape is based on a [[wp:monkey|monkey]]. It is also possible that he is based on [[wp:Sun Wukong|Sun Wukong]], the Chinese mythical "Monkey King". The gold elements in his design seem to indicate this, and his name can also be linked to Japanese interpretations of the character (e.g. Son '''Goku'''). Its appearance is similar to the Colobus Monkeys of Africa. It also may be based on the Gorillaz song ''Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head'' | Infernape is based on a [[wp:monkey|monkey]].
