Macaques

Macaques are the real or fictional representations and monster-creations based off of monkeys that belong in the genus Macaca. Most Macaques are native to Asia and its islands and they get more attention from people over there. Some species of macaques are able to live amongst humans in cities, and due to this reason some people have to deal with them on a daily basis much like how people have to deal with pigeons or other songbirds. Macaques are known amongst humans for their thievery, as they steal things from humans and some individuals even manage trades with them- though not in any "civilized", market sense. It's actually one way to get your stolen sunglasses back, just give them food. Macaques are also known for their violent natures as they have a strong pecking order and thus occasionally get into fights with other individuals in their clan. Clans or troops can even get into territory wars. This violence has helped spurred the creation of the Chinese god Sun Wukong and other macaque characters within his mythology. This portrayal has in turn encouraged many book and television portrayals that affect other apes, especially chimpanzees and gorillas.
Macaques are also famous, apparently, for their mating, going by the sheer amount of Youtube videos of them. Coming from both truly wild, captive, and those who live near humans. When one looks up "monkeys mating" you get macaques instead of a diversity of other kinds of monkeys. 
Macaques also have clear expressions, which leads to lots of videos of humans capturing the interactions between one another, with other animals, or with humans doing things to them. Some of these channels are normal people filming normal things, but some are rather scummy, with macaques being trained or otherwise unusual behaviors developed from an abusive environment. Macaques are sometimes kept as pets. Some of these pets are sold or given to for-profits that film macaques for Youtube cash.
Some species of macaques are also used in scientific experimentation and are one of the more common monkeys used. This is due to their closeness to humans in intelligence, behavior, and genetic build.https://www.britannica.com/animal/macaque
