The Silvapithecus is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

A silvapithecus is a silver monkey with purple bat wings and goblin ears. It has purple hands and feet with a purple demonic face. There is a devilish look to its red eyes, and it has a large light purple bat nose. In some games, the purple parts of its body are blue instead. These simian fiends can be a nuisance in battle with their repertoire of spells and by putting adventurers to sleep with their Sweet Breath. Their fur is said to be highly absorbent and is used for making robes of the highest quality.

Additional information Locations Mystery: Floors 23-99 Major Mystery: Floors 23-99 Abilities Moves and attacks twice per turn Description A devilish demon covered in shimmering silver fur. It moves and attacks twice as quickly as you do, so your only hope of escaping from an encounter with a silvapithecus unharmed is by using items–in fact, the best approach is to throw everything you can at it. Using a Deceleratle wand to level the playing field is a good place to start!
