The Evil Monkey is a recurring character from the show Family Guy.
[edit] Story
In a reference to childhood fears of "Monsters in the closet" (cf "Monsters Inc"), the evil monkey lives in Chris's closet. As his name suggests, he is filled with malice towards all, particularly Chris. Chris is the only member of the Griffin family who is aware of the presence of the monkey in the house, the others (except Stewie) laughing at the notion that Chris has a monkey in his closet.
The evil monkey has been seen by only five characters other than Chris throughout the entire series: the evil monkey's wife, the monkey she was sleeping with, Chris' pimple, Brian's son Dylan, and Peter Griffin (although upon seeing the monkey's familiar finger pointing pose, Peter screamed "Stop it, Meg!" and ran away in tears due to a traumatizing experience involving a finger and his prostate exam earlier that same episode). Herbert slept through his encounter. The evil monkey has been seen crying upon hearing that Chris had left his parental home, apparently loving his duty to scare Chris whenever possible. He was accompanied by a human female on the red carpet to see Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story and pulled off his trademark pose on request. The pose was also used in the episode Road to Germany when Stewie and Hitler were copying the mirror scene from Marx Brothers. Chris once sung a song about him, titled "Evil, Evil Monkey", with his heavy metal band. In the episode Model Misbehavior, the evil monkey is shown relaxing after the Griffin's departure by smoking a joint and listening to Foghat on vinyl through headphones on Chris' bed. He once tried to scare Chris, only to find he wasn't there, just Herbert who was asleep. The Monkey then slowly closed the closet door. In The Former Life of Brian he is beaten up by Brian's son Dylan, allowing Chris finally to have access to his closet - where he discovers a very large quantity of feces, in a deleted scene at the end of the same episode, when Dylan leaves the Griffin home into a taxi with his mother, he realizes that the driver is the evil monkey, then monkey does his finger position towards Dylan. The Evil Monkey was most recently seen briefly in 420 during the "A Bag of Weed" musical, emerging from a portable toilet with a joint. He ended his conflicts with Chris in Hannah Banana and may have had his last appearance on the show after making an exit with a reference of Nanny McFee.
There is an "Asian" evil monkey in Asiantown, and an "Islamic" evil monkey in Iraq.
The monkey iss not actually evil, but was believed to be evil after he caught his wife in bed with another monkey. After his wife cheated on him, he lost his job and his house, and had to move into Chris's closet. He is also not as evil since becoming a Jehovah's Witness. It is thought that Evil Monkey was once a lawyer-monkey, thus wearing the clothes he wore in a scene during the episode, Ready, Willing, and Disabled following Chris' line - 'he wasn't always evil'.
When not pointing his finger, he is a chain smoker. In the Hannah Banana episode of Family Guy it turns out when he points its to strike up a conversation and he suffers from a copper deficiency. Thus explaining the shaking. He dosn't live in Chris's closet anymore because he helped Peter and Chris solve a problem. He now lives in Jake Tucker's house and is said to later help him and his dad, Tom Tucker.
