Monking (モンキング), also known as Mecha Monkey in the Mega Man 2 instruction manual for the U.S., is a robot ape enemy from Wood Man's stage in Mega Man 2 that was originally created to be used in forests. It always appears from the bottom of the screen, swings underneath the platform for a few seconds, and then leaps onto the platform to try to pounce Mega Man.
