Chimpanzee

Monke

Chimpanzees or simply 'Chimps' are Mankind's closest living relatives in the meta, having the fastest running speed of all the great apes being almost equally as fast in the trees as they are on the ground. They are also arguably the most socially complex primate second only to Humans forming vast social networks up to 200 individuals in which they form hunting parties, form alicences and even wage war on neighboring communities.

## Overview

Belonging to A tier, chimpanzees like their fellow simian kin are gifted with high intelligence, basic tool use and a strong social networks. Chimps are relatively standard when it comes to Primate gameplay (A jack of all traits per say) meaning there is nothing that makes them really stand out among the crowd but on the flipside this makes them great generalists. Being omnivores they will eat just about anything they can find though they do prefer plant material this adaptation has allowed them to become the most prolific non-humanoid great ape in the current meta helping them range in a belt-like fashion across Equatorial Africa.

They are also the only non-humanoid ape to be found outside of Tropical Rainforests occasionally venturing out onto the savannas. This along with their omnivorous diet and complex social networks makes them extremely adaptable and also makes Chimpanzees one of the most viable primates in the current meta.

## Match Ups

Chimps though primarily herbivorous have a taste for meat using pack tactics to hunt down smaller animals such as Bush Pigs small antelopes and other primates. Chimpanzees in general have great match-ups against smaller primates like Monkeys and Bush babies ,by using their superior intelligence and pack tactics against monkeys and their special tool use ability on Bush babies by sticking sharp spear-like branches into the Bush babies tree hole in the day while the small nocturnal primate is recharging stamina or afking, eliminating it before dragging them out to gain EXP. Like other social primates they also have surprisingly good match ups against Big cats like Lions and Leopards because of their high sociability, great strength and tool use often forming together in a large group screaming and throwing rocks and sticks at the great cat until it retreats

Two of the worst match ups for Chimpanzees are arboreal snakes and Humans. Arboreal snakes are the biggest griefers of arboreal primates in the current meta thanks to their camouflage and often venomous bites, this high mortality from snake players have insured all Primates (Including Humans) have a natural aloofness to carnivorous reptiles. This makes them stressed and fearful when in the presents of a snake giving snake players an intimidation bonus against Simians making snake mains a surprisingly good match-up against them. Chimpanzees do have a great matchup against humans in terms of raw strength, as they are way stronger than humans due to them having to climb things. An infamous instance of this matchup was in version 20.9, where a Chimp main named Travis brutally attacked a human main to the point where they lost their face, fingers, and went completely blind, however, Travis also died in the incident due to a gun, showing the non-strength matchup.

Humans are the build that have put the Chimpanzee players in decline destroying their spawn areas and kidnapping newbie chimp players as pets and circus attractions though despite this Chimps are in the best place in the meta of all great apes (Besides humans of course).

## The Great Split

Chimps and their sister species: the Bonobos, where originally the same animal who lived around the Congo River in the Congo region of the African Server, but after the Congo River expanded, the faction was split in two. As a result of a split, apes north of the Congo River didn't have lots of food growing on the ground, and the Gorilla playerbase had already claimed the surface. Because of this, the apes got most of their food from the trees, which made them a lot more aggressive toward each other, so they could all get their food. As a result they evolved into Chimpanzees. Meanwhile, south of the Congo, the other half of the split apes had a lot more plants growing on the ground, and there were no Gorilla players around, as a result, they didn't have any reason to fight (don't mistake this for being herbivores as they still gank other players). Due to this their power and aggression (towards other chimps) went way down in exchange for um..... loving points. And as a result they solve problems with uh.......... aggressive love. This caused them to evolve into Bonobos.

## Future

Chimpanzees and other apes show a lot of potential, like their ancestors who also gave rise to humans. If they could update their technology and crafting skills they could probably unlock new weapons and abilities just like their human cousins did. Some say that chimps have entered the stone age. The hypothetical world of planet of the apes see's Apes intelligence being buffed by testing in labs by humans and later the nerfing of humans by a virus player and their over dependence on high level technology leading to the Apes becoming S tier and dominating most servers.
