Monkey zombies are encountered during Monkey Madness in the Ape Atoll Dungeon. They drop zombie monkey bones that are needed to make a Zombie greegree.

The level 72 and 75 monkey zombies can be found in the Temple of Marimbo Dungeon. The level 72 zombies are much smaller than the others, and the size of the monkey that the greegree transforms the player into depends on the size of the monkey that the bones were obtained from.

There are also level 77 monkey zombies located in the inaccessible room under the Marimbo Temple, and in Ape Atoll Dungeon along with the Skeleton monkeys.

Locations

Training

If you have a high enough prayer and combat level, these monsters can be used for training. With a high prayer level and combat level, you can get around 100,000 experience per hour. Use prayer, and when you are out run upstairs and use the altar. Make sure, however, to become a monkey using a greegree or you will be trapped by the larger monkeys up the ladder. An alternative to training here would be to bring prayer-boosting gear and use prayer potions, getting rid of the need to go upstairs and avoid the monkey guards. Remember to bring Salve amulet or Salve amulet (e), as they are undead.
