It's a baboon. Large, brown bulky primate with a colorful face (and rear end).<br />
Badboons are based on [[Wikipedia:Mandrill|mandrill]]s, Old World monkeys that are native to western Africa in the real world. They are large, brown bulky primates with colourful faces and posteriors. Bulkier than real life mandrills, their stature resembles orangutans and gorillas. The primates made a reappearance in the series in ''IX'' after a 22 year absence.
