so in conclusion, I think its MOST LIKELY the pipos are monkeys and not apes. the most compelling evidence for me is the monkey park sign in the opening cutscene
or perhaps maybe the developers didnt think about it and they are part monkey and ape
we may never know for sure, but what do you think?

pipo in a Metal Gear Solid minigame, he has no tail
japanese macaque with a light pink face
but what about the tails?
its most likely the pipos are based off japanese macaques which have very short tails, so they are probably in the pipos pants
but what about the red faces that japanese macaques have???
well their faces are not always so red! it varies on season, genetics, and age

from a cutscene in ape escape, the pipos are escaping with a big sign that says "MONKEY PARK"
in the opening cutscene, even in the japanese version, you can clearly see the pipos are escaping from a MONKEY park
a monkey park in japan is a tourist attraction thats almost like a zoo, but has wild monkey troops that usually can roam freely around the park. specifically monkeys, never apes

"γ΅γ«γ²γγγ₯" the japanese title for ape escape, translating to "sarugetchu"
the US title is actually misleading to the original name, probably for the sake of the nicer sounding rhyme of ape and escape
the original japanese title is Sarugetchu (γ΅γ«γ²γγγ₯) or "saru get you" Saru is the japanese word for monkey and ape so really they could be either. but theres a bit more

piposaru from ape escape
Ape Escape playstation game cover
monkey speculation!
lets talk about Ape Escape, one of my favourite videogames
are the pipos monkeys or apes?
this seems like a pretty easy question, they're obviously apes! the game is called ape escape and they look like chimps so case closed right? well there's some conflicting information

the barbary macaque, with no visible tail
the barbary macaque, with no visible tail
the japanese macaque, with a barely visible tail
monkey fact!
you can tell the difference between an ape and a monkey by the tail. only monkeys have tails, but this is not always easily apparent
the barbary macaque has tail but it is so small it can be completely invisible! same with the japanese macaque, but their tails are slightly longer

try looking at the most common types of macaque, the rhesus and the crab eating macaque
you can also rule out certain ones like the crested macaque which have a very distinct skull
maybe find out where it came from? places with macaques usually only have one very specific type
hopefully this helps

the squirrel monkey, their face looks like a skull sort of
i'd say the most fitting monkey to be an assassin would be the squirrel monkey, they are small and nimble
in german their name is "Totenkopfaffe" which translates to skull monkey
also they apparently rub their urine on their hands for some reasons, maybe they could do that with poison? gross!

that is actually a type of saki monkey, possibly the bald-faced saki?
also interestingly, gibbons are not monkeys OR great apes, they actually have their own classification of lesser ape. kind of mean : (

MONKEY FACTS
1. this is a spider monkey
2. having a pet monkey is illegal in most places, as it should be! because even though they're cute, living in a house or cage and being isolated from the social life of a wild monkey is very mentally damaging to them. look it up!
3. he wasnt rampaging >: /
