I know this thread has been inactive for the longest time, but I gotta say, that monkey thing is disturbing for me, too. I wasn't even trying to kill the monkey, but totally knocked it into the water. I tried to use the bind song on it to put it back in the tree, and bind didn't work until it died (drowned).... Then I shot it to death some more to rid the screen of my mistake.
Will the monkeys be in the sequel? (If you're planning on one, that is)....
