Monkeys are their own weird (and terrible (and bullshit)) branch of mob/living/carbon at the moment.
Aggressive NPC humans already work just fine, as some of you may have seen from time to time. /mob/living/carbon/monkey is a real shit show, frankly it'd save a ton of headaches to wait until the project for just getting rid of /monkey is done. There's still some work left to do, but mutantrace monkeys have way more potential for this sort of thing.
Mutantraces are things like dwarves, lizardmen, skeleton men, shambling abominations, stuff like that. Mutantrace monkeys are partially implemented so far. The difference there is that mutantrace monkeys are just a modification of the human type instead of being an awful buggy separate thing.
So: this has been a planned feature for months now, it will happen eventually, it'll just take quite a bit of work. It'll get done sometime hopefully.
