'''[[File:Zombie_monkey_outbreak.png|thumb|Braaaaaaaains... ]]Rise of the Zombie Monkeys!''' was an event during the last of the [[Wild Weekends]], where the community team would be spawning invasions of [[zombie monkeys]] (level 65) throughout the weekend. If you killed at least 5 on a given day a medium XP lamp would be rewarded. The event was available Saturday through Monday, allowing for 3 XP lamps to be earned.

The community team were be updates stating which 2 worlds the zombie monkeys would be spawning at on the Forums, as well as Twitter @Runescape. It should be noted that you could '''NOT''' kill monkey zombies at Ape Atoll Dungeon for the 5 kills.

===Locations===
Zombie monkeys started spawning on the hour about every 3 minutes for about 15 minutes on only 2 worlds as announced on RuneScape Forum or Twitter. On Monday from 11am to 7pm UTC the monkeys were spawned only on 1 world for about 20 minutes. At 8pm it was back on 2 worlds for about 15 minutes. It ends at 11pm UTC. There were about 15 sessions per day.

They had been appearing at these 6 locations:
*[[Varrock Square]]
*[[Lumbridge Castle]]
*[[Edgeville]] Bank
*[[Mudskipper Point]]
*[[Cabbage patch]] south of [[Falador]]
*[[Draynor]] [[Lodestone]]

====Combating the Monkeys====
The zombie monkeys are level 65 and fight using a hand melee attack. '''They WILL do damage, so lower-levelled players should bring food.''' The locations at which they spawn are sure to be crowded, so it is a good idea to use long range fighting styles (Magic, Ranged). Upon death, the monkeys will drop [[bones]] and a [[banana]].

After killing 5 monkeys in one day you would be rewarded with a [[medium XP lamp]]. The XP lamp can be used on any skill. You can only earn 1 lamp per day, so after you have killed 5 zombie monkeys, it is advisable to leave the area out of courtesy towards the other players.

====Difficulties====
Due to the extremely high amount of players and NPCs in a small area, it is advised to lower your graphics setting to the lowest possible option in order to reduce inevitable lag.

Zombie monkeys will only spawn on [[free-to-play]] [[worlds]], due to the large number of players using cannons to get their kills, preventing others from getting theirs. This means that any player wishing to use their lamp on a members' skill such as [[Herblore]] or [[Construction]] must hop back to a members' server.

===Trivia===
*Monkey greegrees can not be made from these spawned monkeys.
*The location at which zombie monkeys will spawn could not be determined using any formula. The only way to tell when and where there would be a zombie monkey spawn was by following it on the Forums or Twitter.

The locations of the zombie monkey outbreaks were also being posted on Runescape's Twitter channel [http://twitter.com/#!/runescape here].
