Maybe it's because they land somewhere in the Uncanny Valley. Maybe, as with the Monster Clown, it's because writers like subverting the traditionally "cute". Maybe it is a reflection of our savage ancestry. Maybe it's a remnant of our struggle with our differently evolved cousins. Maybe its a twisted take on the Apes in Space motif. Or maybe it's simply that monkeys make everything better. Whatever the reason, killer simians make for good alien monsters. Such extraterrestrial monkeys tend to be brutish killing machines — an intelligent alien ape is usually a subversion. If Humans Are Warriors and/or Humans Are the Real Monsters, then technically we might be an example to aliens. Earthly villains who happen to be actual apes are not Killer Space Monkeys. See also Maniac Monkeys. May be a Killer Gorilla Recycled IN SPACE!. Not to be mistaken with Apes in Space, who are monkeys that go into space. |

Dragon Ball: The Saiyans used their power to transform into giant "apes"note they're referred to as apes, but, having tails, are technically monkeys during the full moon to conquer planets for Frieza. Calling the Saiyans "monkeys" was a bit of a racial slur used by Frieza and his underlings. | |

Halo: Halo 2 introduced the Brutes, who are basically gorilla-bears. Gorilla-bears in Powered Armor who dual-wield shotguns. They become even more ape-like in subsequent games, with the page image being the Brute general Atriox from Halo Wars 2. The Grunts also have ape-like features; the Covenant name for them is even "Unggoy", which in Tagalog means "monkey". Halo: Reach includes the Gúta, essentially tusked lizard monkeys that look kind of like trolls. However, due to resource constraints, only two appear in the entire game (in "Nightfall"), so some think of them as a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere. |

Superman has met a few alien apes with powers similar to his own: King Krypton, who was revealed to have been a Kryptonian scientist who was turned into a gorilla and launched into space. He was hoping that cosmic radiation would cure him. Beppo The Super Monkey was a Kryptonian chimpanzee that managed to sneak aboard the rocket that brought baby Superman to Earth and stay hidden on Earth until Superboy was a teenager. He later joined Krypto and Supergirl's Streaky and Comet in the Legion Of Super-Pets. Superboy once met Yango, a Kryptonian gorilla uplifted by a scientist then sent to Earth. Yango conveniently landed near a hidden Underground City inhabited by intelligent gorillas. He grows up to become their Superman Substitute leader. |

Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars!: The Betelgeusian Berserker Baboons make up the bulk of S.P.A.C.E.'s Space Marine contingent and are more likely than not to go for Good Old Fisticuffs in a setting where Frickin' Laser Beams are the standard armament. The first baboon seen is a warp drive engineer, but that doesn't stop him from drop-kicking his way through a bulkhead. However, the baboons are firmly in the heroic camp, though they are The Dreaded to the Toads, and tend towards the Blood Knight side of the spectrum. They are also, unlike most examples of this trope, rather small (by human standards, they tower over most of the cast). Willy is a pre-teen human boy, but he can comfortably wear Betelgeusian combat armor with only minor alterations. | |

In Warlord of Mars, the white apes are multi-armed gorilla-like monsters that frequently prey on the civilized peoples in Barsoom. Their viciousness is highlighted in the Dejah Thoris and the White Apes of Mars miniseries where the Helium princess and her ladies-in-waiting are trapped inside a ruin filled with these monsters. They kill every single one of Dejah's friends. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Not so much killer, as their role is more of The Engineer despite questionable sapience, but there are the Jokaero, a race of space orangutans. They produce fantastically advanced and powerful weapons which can fire in a variety of modes (heavy flamer, lascannon, melta), and it's possible to have an entire army of them plus one Inquisitor. | |

In Eclipse Phase police forces on Mars often use genetically modified baboons adapted to the atmosphere in a role similar to police dogs, and a lot of people are scared of them.

Halo 2 introduced the Brutes, who are basically gorilla-bears. Gorilla-bears in Powered Armor who dual-wield shotguns. They become even more ape-like in subsequent games, with the page image being the Brute general Atriox from Halo Wars 2. | |

John Carter of Mars has the White Apes — gigantic, four-armed Martian primates. Probably the Trope Maker, since the John Carter books are some of the earliest alien adventure stories ever written. | |

Invader Zim: A Bad Thing Never Ends: Lex's DIR units are not real monkeys, actually being robots in shoddy monkey costumes, but they're still monkey-looking Killer Robots from outer space. The upgraded SADIR units are even more dangerous, being much larger and more heavily armed, while still wearing monkey disguises. Tak notes that while the regular DIRs look like spider monkeys, the SADIRs are more like mandrils. |

Star Frontiers had the Yazirians as a playable race. They were generally good guys, of the Proud Warrior Race Guy sort. They were subsequently ported over into Spelljammer as the Hadozee. | |
