* Runescape does this, and how. The three monkeys are actually found ingame, with the original names. There is a whole quest centered around them, even! A short version of the story is like this: [[spoiler:Monkeys have once lived on the desert. The clash of two gods, Amascut, goddess of destruction, and Apmeken, goddess of friendship and sociability and monkeys, caused Apmeken to lose and lose her three senses - and so did the desert monkeys. Out of the stolen senses, three monsters were forged, and killed off the debilitated monkey population - except for Mizaru, Iwazaru and Kikazaru, which escaped to a monkey island (no, not that one), by helping each other and filling out for their respective lackings. Also due to Apmeken's loss, people of the desert turned hostile and started wars. In the quest, the player establishes a new monkey colony on the desert and defeats those three monsters, restoring Apmeken's senses, and is spoken to by the goddess... and also does a lot of other funnier things.]] Talking to the three monkeys is a rather comedic routine if one can't talk back and one doesn't hear you.

It is based on the old idea of the three monkeys whose example good people should follow to live their lives: See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil with hands over eyes, mouth and ears, respectively. A fourth monkey, Do No Evil, keeps his hands in his lap -- and since that could be interpreted [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic a number of ways]], it may explain why the fourth monkey is not so well known. According to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_wise_monkeys the Other Wiki]], the saying [[OlderThanYouThink dates back back to Confucius]]. When translated to Japanese, it becomes "Mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru" (literally, "Don't see, don't hear, don't do"). Since "-zaru" sounds like "saru" (which means "monkey") it became known as the Three Wise Monkeys.
