This is once again, like THE PIG THEORY another ridiculously deep dive into dont starves hidden lore. Not as deep as I would say the pig theory was but it definitely had less "Muddy" moments. This should aim to answer many questions about the monkeys of dont starve, Shipwrecked, Woodlegs, Where the pirates went, where wilbur is now, who the moon quay are, who monkey queen is, who the prime mates are, who the powdermonkeys are, and the primeapes and splumonkeys. This is the monkey theory.

This theory answers plenty of questions about not only the Primeapes, prime mates, splumonkeys, Moon quay pirates, Powder monkeys, Woodlegs origin, Monkey queen or Queen Moon quay, but the history of the pirates of shipwrecked dont starve, the shipwrecked boss quacken, It also has some tidbits about maybe where wagstaff is building his portals to, and some pieces about WX-78s origin and how it relates to the Monkey Storyline. It also talks about one of the most mysterious characters in all of dont starve, Wilbur and his origins as the monkey king. The monkey king being a prominent figure in chinese mythology, and knowing klei they certainly had that intention as they make a year of the Creature update year of the bunnyman is most recent, almost every year to symbolize each year of the creature it is for the chinese zodiac. Wilbur was actually released during the year of the monkey. We also have a few tidbits about maxwell and his lore but for the most part this remains about monkeys, prime apes, pirates, webbers mutation and webbers father, and ofcourse about all of these gosh dang unnatural portals!
But yeah, i will go back to doing OP GUIDES in no time. I just wanted to get this one off my chest cause i have been thinking about it for a while. OP TERRARIA MAGE GUIDE next probably followed by SKYRIM OP GOBLIN BUILD. - Hry

RETURN. TO. MONKE.
Ghost reborn into monkey
What if the portal left In the ancient past
I think a very plausible inspiration for the Monkey Queen that's been overlooked is Guanyin. There's a lot here: Guanyin is the Buddha of mercy and compassion, and there's even a tale involving her and a white parrot. More specifically, in Journey to the West, it's Guanyin who creates the golden crown and puts it on Sun Wukong, and she sends him on the titular journey with the end goal that she will remove the collar at the end. So we not only have a parallel for the Monkey Queen sending Wilbur away, and the crown, but we even have a parallel to the Monkey Queen being the one who reverses the wonkey curse on player characters. She has mercy upon the cursed characters and rewards them for reaching the end of their "journey" - handing her enough bananas. She refers to the bananas as "gold", too, which would normally just be a "haha, monkeys love bananas" joke, but with everything else and the other references to Journey to the West, I think becomes pretty significant.
Well said :D
@@yukowolfang8645 Thank you ^^
damnn idk what that means but damn
I like this alot more than slasher's theory on their relationship being of a conflict alot of assumptions there. I like that idea of him being sent out by the queen because he's the smartest one
the monkeys were among us from the start
among
us!
among
us!
AMONG
US!
I’m going mental
Please don't do this to us I almost forgot about that cursed game
Hey. Don't forget that the WX-78 short is not the only place where you can see a monkey in the real world. The monkey appeared in the short film about Wes, and they are also mentioned in the Willam Carter puzzle, where they are described as getting out of the van. They are also featured on the Wolfgang poster. I always thought that Wilbur was a real-world trained ape that got into the Constant.
What about the monkey from Wes' short? While he doesn't have a crown, he is dressed in red with a hat
Maybe Wilber is part of the same monkey money making shtick where they dance for money
Wilber could've been exposed to shadow magic to make him smarter.
Also seems interesting that they are both unable to speak
i literally came to post the same thing you got it covered though
That baby monkey could’ve grown up to be that monkey in Wes’s short which is why he had a connection to people and shadow magic and also being unable to speak 😨
i expect if we ever get woodlegs in dst, even though it is unlikely, his animation would be wilbur releasing him, and then him somehow making his way to the mainland
That Bloons music at the beginning really made my brain go like "Which game is this video about again?"
The one with monkeys I think
Another semi-useless side note: Walani's a pirate, she mentions it in some of her examine quotes, off the top of my head the Cutlass examine, but I know there's more, there's a real chance that Walani was another surviving member of Woodlegs' crew, which would explain her what seems to be depression, shown again in some examine quotes, she's not laid-back because that's just who she is, she's laid-back because her friends and crew are all dead and she just doesn't care anymore, and while it's possible, she likely still hasn't seen Woodlegs so to her, everyone she used to know is dead
He is going a bit insane nowadays but he has a point
At least he'snot on the sh1t Matpat is on
@@godofamphibians eh, his focus are fun theories.
@@godofamphibiansi dont even watch matpat for his game theories anymore, they're too much to handle. Food theory is at least decent(though by no means a concrete source)
Here's another thing monkey's (from shipwrecked and those in ruins) transform into shadow monkeys when it's nightmare fase makes sense woodlegs would like wearing night armour
Consuming these theories is like consuming a freshly made Surf N Turf. too good!
ah yes my favorite item, WX-78
I just like to think Wilbur is just a normal monkey. But a monkey raised in captivity, he could possibly be one if the escaped circus monkies in one of the newspapers.
My theory is that he's the monkey seen with wagstaff, probably an early test into the portal by wagstaff, because he probably trained wilbur certain things it would allow him higher intelligence which would help him become monkey king. The monkeys would view him as a benefit as he'd be teaching them things which would aid in their growth as well.
He might have been thrown out, due to how his influence had helped them grow. the monkey queen appears (with my very limited knowledge of monkeys, i admit) to be an orangatan. This would mean her strength and size would benefit her greatly as a force of power. They might not have a proper 'relationship" in that regard, as it may simply be wilbur was gaining influence and this upset the queen greatly, so he was thrown out.
In case anyone was wondering, the Sun Wukong character portrait is from the Myth characters mod, pretty good 100% recommend it
Ma boy unlocked his inner MatPat yet again and theoried all over the LORE yet again!
This might just be an easter egg, but Wilbur is wearing one of the suits Michael jackson wore. He was known as "The King of Pop".
make terrarium lore video
I like how this theory ties the Chinese mythology references in the multiplayer game with the character symbolism in the single player game. Really good work.
Monkey theory? Let’s go
(I'm not pretty good in English so here is might be some spelling mistakes)So. When spider was brought in real world by Wagstaff(like for experimenting with merging constant creatures and other, maybe werbber's dad was good assistant for Wagstaff)he attacked human and Webber was born. So it means that somehow Wagstaff can make creatures merge with other creatures or even a human. And I guess almost every creature in the constant is merge of two creatures like:catcoons, goosemoose and many many others like... pirate monkey. Maybe... Just maybe... Wagstaff really helped with making the constant. And we don't know much about who really made constant and how. And Wagstaff maybe helped with it much(at least with creatures). I want to sleep so I can't think like normal human. That means it's all I have for now.
Im know you’re not very good in English but it’s hilarious to hear “Like a normal human” unironically.
Ay slasher doubt you'll see this but I just wanna let you know your videos bring me joy and I've been watching for a good while so I wish you well and I support you!
Don’t Starve theories are so well made. Good job
All of this just looks like a perfectly good reason to update the ocean again.
I love these theories. I know they definitely take up time but I think their amazing.
God, I love these theory videos as much as Slasher enjoying smacking moleworms out of slexistance.
If we get two other unique monkeys, the monkeys might actually be a reference to the four special monkeys in Chinese mythology
The wise monkey (sun wukong)
The Six eared Monkey
The Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey
And The Long-Armed Ape Monkey
You may have missed the "Joe Vs The Volcano" reference! old tom hanks early 80s
I just love it
Today i finnished mark of the ninja another klei game
And saw how far they could think
And now here we have slasher putting together a somewhat competent lore series and talking bout a 8x immortal monkey
May i remind you 5/or idk time ago ma man was making op guide on (insert character) in hamlet and early DST
Yeah baby that's what i've been waiting for, that's what it's all about. Woooooo
I always love these videos. They're so.... Bananas.... yet convincing.
Really interesting!
Now that characters are receiving skill trees I wonder if there will be tree for Wonkey🤔 It could lead to new monkey lore
You realy should make a playlist for these that be lovely
I would like both Wilbur and Woodlegs in dst. Woodlegs would probably have to have some changes because of the way sailing is changed but I think he would work good.
I always took Wilbur for an earth monkey rather than a Constant monkey. Wolfgang's circus that crashed with William Carter's train had a cage of highly trained monkeys in it. Most of them wore fez's but I suppose its likely their best monkey would wear a little crown. The William Carter puzzles has a news article saying the monkeys escaped.
static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/5/50/William_Carter_Puzzle_4.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20150502152049
"A passenger train struck a circus wagon that had broken down along the tracks at the Old Mill crossing. Dozens of passengers were injured, and at least one man is missing. The missing man has yet to be identified, but fellow passengers described him as a tall, nervous fellow with an English accent. A search party was convened but quickly abandoned when it became apparent that a [Second column begins after tear in the first column] cage full of potentially dangerous trained monkeys had been vacated in the collision. Given the remoteness of the crash site, the scorching desert sun, and the escaped animals, the missing man has been presumed dead."
My theory is that Wilbur was a circus monkey with Wolfgang and he had a run in with Maxwell during the crash. Maxwell may have panicked and sucked him into the constant. A highly trained monkey grown up around humans, naturally, would mentally dominate wild monkeys.
I think you should to a video on the ghosts of Don't Starve, because I don't think that they're human, and a part of your theory of woodlegs's crew relies on the fact that they were in Don't Starve, where they might have been from outside of it.
More matpat luigi warp pipe theories
I hope Klei is watching these videos. This would be so cool.
Finaly something about wilbur
OOOOOH THIS THEORY WAS SO GOOOD YOU SHOULD DO DELTARUNE THEORIES WHEN IT COMES OUT!
So cool video, but, as a person that haven´t a perfect level of english, I didn´t understand all of the theory, so bad luck for me, because this theories can be the real lore of Don´t Starve, good luck if you´re going to make more of this videos!
Its finally out!
i love these theory videos
Slasher, we need an imp theory like the true nature of krampus and why klaus is constrained
I'm incredibly surprised that this dude doesn't have a play list yet.
Have you looked into possible connections with the Queen of the Moon Quay and the story of Chang'e, the Moon Goddess and Zhu Bajie? In the Journey to the West mythology, Zhu Bajie was cursed, banished to earth, and transformed into a pig-monster after attempting to seduce Chang'e. It's also notable that prior to that, he was a grand marshal in charge of 80,000 celestial marines - not pirates, but sorta close.
WILBUR VS THE VOLCANO PART WAS EPIC
Now I kinda wanna play shipwrecked
There is a dst mod for shipwrecked that adds basically everything exept world hopping
Did Wickerbottom have the Codex Umbra before Maxwell? Maxwell's train was going from New York to San Francisco. We know from Winnona's trailer that Wickerbottom's library was in New York. We know from Wickerbottom's trailer that she has a secret section of the library that with a lot of knowledge and items regarding shadows and nightmares (including a doll of Willow?). Why would Wickerbottom be transporting the Codex Umbra to San Francisco? Was she going to confer with the spiritualists that Wendy turned too when trying to reconnect with Abigale's spirit? Probably a bit of a stretch.
Interesting theory! I do wonder tho, maybe that pirate faction was the one to make the volcano altar of snackcrifice, or at the very least the obsidian workbench? Those two estructures have always been kinda... there, no explanation whatsoever, and at least the workbench is supossed to be a parallel to the ancient stations on the ruins, yet there has never been a shipwrecked parallel to the ancients themselves. Maybe that's why both structures are in the volcano, the same place where Woodlegs is caged in
That was already explained in the wurt/merm theory when the shipwrecked merms were given enough intelligence to fish for the gnaw.
@@sud1881 Yes, but there still is no explanation for the obsidian workbench, as that theory talked more about the altar and it's connection the gnaw and, consecuently, to the merms, yet the workbench is still a mystery. Also, Woodlegs.
@@drosellie2850 yeah true
Hey Slasher, do you have any theory or opinion on birds? Is there any sacred knowledge hidden behind our sight?
Finally. Don’t Starve Monke Lore.
Honestly I would love an update where woodlegs and wilbur come to dst and go to war with the moon quey
@slasher342 I got a question for you: What is the connection between the shadows, the moon, the birds and the lycanthrops? Not just the werepigs but the werebeaver of earth. We KNOW Woodie was a werebeaver on earth because of Walter's short. What connection does the moon of earth have with this 'moon' of the constant? Why does monster meat, presumably a mutation made by nightmare fuel, trigger the lycanthropic curses? Woodie used to transform when chopping trees but something Wickerbottom taught him changed that to simply eating monster meat. WHAT DOES WICKERBOTTOM KNOW?
Woodie's distrust of birds most likely came as a result of his curse. Did the birds curse him for chopping down their trees? Did the birds cause the werepig curse too? Can the birds channel the powers of the moon? When you help Wagstaff in the moonstorms you fight off waves of mutated crows and birds.
Maxwell doesn't seem to know how crows got into the constant. Woodie thinks they spy on him. Why do canarys explode in the caves? If a male goose is called a gander does that imply that weregoose Woodie is female? Can weregoose Woodie lay an egg? If so, what would hatch from that egg? A weregoosling? THESE ARE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS GOD DAMN IT.
The made in abyss ost really cracked me
To be honest i didn't think of the monkey lore but pretty cool
Woodlegs plant line "green like my mermaids eyes". That sounds like it could be referencing a wife or past lover, with the word "my"
Some feedback I wanted to give about thise videos: I have an issue with the theory videos you make and its not the theories themselves but rather how you compile them. Also the video presentation adds to this problem. When I watch your theory videos what I notice is you start to talk about something and then go "to explain this we need to look at something else" and then go "to explain that we need to look at something else." And after a while I go "What am I even listening to anymore". It doesn't feel clear at all. Like when I imagine someone that is not familiar with dst I lore can definetly see them feeling like you are just mumbling random whatever at that point. Even I lose track of what the video was talking about from time to time. I like that the video is structured into parts but those parts are not clear enough and are half explained before going to the next part which after a while you go back to talk about a previous part. Things that could help with this are:
- You could make a crime board type string connection as the video progresses to better see what is related to where ( or at least know where things are going without getting spoiled)
- Structure in a chronological order like telling a story so the video is constant and there is no back and forth.
-Put in key sentences or words and use them multiple times when talking about to same topic for getting our attention where you want exactly.
-More and interesting visuals (too much black screen and png right now)
Maybe the real monkeys were the friends we made along the way
Hold up that monkey king would seem fun to party with
Hope i’ll see the theory about pugalisk
Really liked the intermission where you explain dragon ball lore for 15 minutes
I would love to see in an new update woodlegs and Wilbur return for a qwest line like wagstaff's
another good theory

maybe the real monkey theory was the friends we made along the way
Me: So, how many times did you become inmortal
Son Wu Kong: Yes
return to monke
I shouldn't have started with the Wilson theory I thought al these would be joke vids glad to find out that was the only joke lore vid😅
Such a badass, became 506x Immortal.
23:16 oh, okay I get it, the time shenanigans result in lore, cool! /lh
I don't think it should be so funny complex, since for Wanda now we know the constant is a place out of time it must be that the pirate monkeys are just shipwreck monkeys but from the future and probably the moon quay is some related to Wilbur so they evolved into pirates because that's the ambient they live
So wait,if we go by your theory the portal grabs souls of the dead from hell and devil itself since you mentioned beelzebub last theory and then mutates them into pirate monkeys
next up: THE BLOON THEORY
Me as winona raiding monkey island with canon agains wooden sword and getting their food and forcing them to work on farm i made history repeating isnt it eh?
İ need a explanation on why th is there little gnaws(wormhole) in DST what are their purpose? Did maxwell just see gnaw and copied it but that wont explain why maxwell is confused in forge and gorge
I like the attempt but isn't shipwrecked dlc taking place before dst which would render wilbur stranded at sea by the monkey queen theory flawed?
Or maybe the portal just tapped into a different region of the constant, near the ship recked islands
love it
I think they're setting up for wilbur to be in dst.
The yellow fluid leaking out of the portal is most likely sand.
i still havent received my serious s#ex my lawyers will be hearing about this and we will press charges
Oh yes Im all in about lore
"THIS WORLD ALREADY HAS BANANAS INSTALLED"
I think walani may have been part of his crew
Conclusion mooonkkkeyyss
Am I hearing the infinate hole music in the end?
Looks like the real monkey pirates, were the friends we made along the way😌
Honestly, I feel like every single anthro species in Don’t Starve has devolved or evolved versions, it’s so strange. Like, what makes this happen? Is it nightmare Fuel?
I came up with an answer to that in my monster meat theory
The moonkeys went to reject monkey and became pirates
If trinket have a soul of pirates, than too much of it would change to pirate not monkey ?
Nice
Lore of Dont Starve THE MONKEY THEORY momentum 100
Moon quay, monkey. Hmm...
Monkeys how should we split the bananas?
among us
28:42 So dissapointed that you didn't use "Build different" on the right.
I'm pretty sure that "yellow fluid" is sand. 11:09
I thought Wilbur is a circus monkey from the real world.
Woodlegs reminds me of Peggy the pirate
