2	''Monkey Quest'' was a [[WebGames browser-based]] {{MMORPG}} from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} Virtual Worlds. It was launched on March 17th, 2011, and lasted 3.5 years before getting [[DefunctOnlineVideoGames shut down]] on September 26th 2014.
3
4	In the game, you played a monkey in the world of Ook, which is inhabited by other [[TalkingAnimal talking]] monkeys. The premise was that the BigBad Ka has come back after being defeated by the Monkey King, eons ago. Like any other role playing game, you leveled up by doing quests and defeating monsters.

6	!!This game provided examples of:
7	* AllegedlyFreeGame: You can't unlock higher level areas without paying for them, or having a 24-hour guest pass from people who have paid for memberships. Some users have gotten their monkeys up to high levels by doing the daily quests repeatedly, however.
8	* AntiGrinding: Shadow monsters give less and less experience as you become more powerful, until defeating one only gives one experience point.
9	* ArabBeobleTalk: Several of the Ootu Mystics non-playable characters appear to talk in a thick Middle Eastern accent, most notably [[MeaningfulName Mama Babu]].
10	* BigBad: Ka, although he hasn't made a direct appearance.
11	* BossBattle: Averted. There's only Arenas or beefed-up versions of regular enemies that you must defeat for quests. Either aren't very difficult at all.
12	** No longer averted. With the introduction of the Ice Raiders tribe, a new quest at the end of that tribe's questline will have you fight Foulbreath the Troll.
13	* CivilizedAnimal: The monkeys of Ook, and the talking Octopi/Crocodiles/Snakes/Spiders that inhabit the various lands.
14	* ElementalPowers: Each of the five tribes of Ook are able to harness a specific natural element.
15	** Sea Dragons: [[PlayingWithFire Fire]]
16	** Ootu Mystics: combination of [[DishingOutDirt Earth]] and [[GreenThumb Wood]] (most of the Ootu Mystics' weapons are able to [[PoisonousPerson Poison]] enemies.)
17	** Chim Foo: [[BlowYouAway Air]]
18	** Ice Raiders: [[AnIcePerson Ice]]
19	** Mek Tek (unreleased): possibly [[ExtraOreDinary Metal]]
20	* FarEast: The Chim Foo Path, a land of fire-breathing dragons, sakura trees, rooftop ninja tricks, wise kung-fu masters, and pandas you can bounce on.
21	* FetchQuest: A lot of them, in every trail.
22	* FrothyMugsOfWater: The "Courage Juice" drank by the Sea Dragons.
23	* GiantSpider: The Rachnoid Queen is a friendly example of this.
24	* GrapplingHookPistol: Actually, it's a chameleon.
25	* HarderThanHard: There's one trail for each tribe that's harder than the rest (at least in terms of level capacity):
26	** Crossroads: Magma Citadel ([[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon especially since it's the final trail in the game]])
27	** Sea Dragons: The Goon Cave
28	** Ootu Mystics: The Underground River
29	** Chim Foo: Stone Gardens
30	** Ice Raiders: Tempest Chasm (fittingly enough, there's also a [[FinalBoss boss fight]] at the end of the trail)
31	*** Speaking of which, not only are the middle three the hardest trails in their tribes, but they also have an ocean of hard-level enemies (and also Arena battles that require a lot of teamwork), and are also hidden in other trails that are already hard on their own (except for Goon Cave, which is hidden in [[EasierThanEasy Overlook Cliff]]).
32	* HollywoodVoodoo: The Ootu mystics, with a pinch of MagicalNativeAmerican thrown in with the incorporation of dreamcatchers.
33	* MoneyForNothing: You can find bananas floating in the air on all trails. It's just a simple matter of catching it.
34	* NonHumanSidekick: The pets you can buy from Mogri's pet shop.
35	* OxygenMeter: Especially prevalent in the Sea Dragons areas.
36	* PracticalCurrency: Bananas.
37	* RewardingVandalism: By breaking barrels and jars, you can find crafting ingredients.
38	* SpringsSpringsEverywhere: Drums, pandas, octopi, and frogs are all utilized as trampolines in Ook. The yet-as-unreleased viking area has animal-skin trampolines outside its entrance.
39	* TempleOfDoom: Several of the Crossroads trails, especially the Lost Temple, are this.
40	* TemporaryPlatform: Any platforms you need to use your scrying orb on, although it's easy to recharge them by using the scrying orb repeatedly.
41	* TimedMission: The Arenas.
42	* WalletOfHolding: You can have as much bananas as you can collect and they never go bad or weigh you down.
43	* WeBuyAnything: You can sell crafting items, potions, and unwanted clothing wherever there's a vendor.
