Monkey Dude (モンキー・デュード), renamed Saruder (サルダー) in Japan, is monkey-type badnik created by Dr. Robotnik. It only appears at Angel Island Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The Japanese name for this Badnik comes from saru, which means 'monkey' in Japanese. Monkey Dude is very similar to Coconuts from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It has blue body and hands, white tail and yellow mouth.

Attack PatternEdit

Monkey Dude clings to tree tops, waiting for the player to come near. When it spots the player, it flings a coconut. Each Monkey Dude only has one coconut (going a certain distance away and returning will reset the coconut), and it has terrible aiming skills. After it has attacked, it remains helpless and vulnerable. Monkey Dude is easily defeated by doing Spin Jump.
