She's missing a monkey, or does she herself count?

If we're going with the whole "monkeys and humans are somewhat related" thing then she counts.

Then again, she's not human. Non of them are.

There's a reference here? I thought it was just nifty cosplay.

Yes, there is. A Nue is, according to japanese folklore, a beast who has "the head of a monkey, the body of a raccoon dog (Mamizou), the legs of a tiger (Shou), and a snake as a tail (Kanako)"

I should've added "humanoid."

That is clever...I'm saddened that I didn't catch that at all until I read the comments.

I should know that considering how much I played Breath of Fire III. A Nue's the first freakin' boss!

so, chimera?

Now we just need Youmu with a bow and some arrows.
