Monkey greegree

Monkey greegrees are used for transforming into a monkey on Ape Atoll. When in the monkey form, all monsters on the island become non-aggressive. There are eight different greegrees altogether, a Karamjan monkey greegree, a normal, blue faced and bearded gorilla greegree, a small and large ninja monkey greegree, and a small and large zombie monkey greegree.

To make a greegree, a player must take a monkey talisman and the corresponding monkey bones or corpse to Zooknock, who can be found in the Marim dungeon. Each greegree transforms the player into the corresponding monkey of the greegree when wielded. This effect is only in place on Ape Atoll as Zooknock cannot use his magic over long distances. Be aware that a greegree may not be wielded while in combat.

The greegrees are useful in the Monkey Madness and the Recipe for Disaster quests. At the very start of Monkey Madness, players will only be able to obtain a Monkey talisman by talking to the crying child in the house to the west of the monkey settlement when wearing the M'speak amulet. When they have had the greegree charged by Zooknock, additional Monkey Talismans can be bought from the Magic stall for 1,000 coins each.

When transformed into a monkey, you will still not be able to understand the monkeys. You will need to wear the M'speak amulet to speak monkey with or without a greegree. The greegree may be used in the Ardougne zoo after the quest, but there are restrictions on where players may travel as a monkey.

Trivia
