Survive a Million Monkeys is a Roblox game where you fight off waves of monkeys on an island. Bosses are the big, named enemies that break up that steady rhythm. Knowing what each one is and how its fight plays out helps you stay calm when one shows up.

What Are the Bosses in Survive a Million Monkeys?
Most of what you fight in a run is the crowd of regular monkeys. A boss is different. It's a single named enemy that you have to bring down, so the fight is about one target instead of the flood. The Cove King, Dr. Bananov and The Prototype are the bosses in the game.
A run is mostly about lasting as long as you can, so a boss works like a spike in the pressure. It tests how well your team is holding up in a way the steady crowd doesn't. That's why each fight is worth learning before it arrives.
Where to Find Each Boss
The Cove King is on the Cove map. Dr. Bananov is introduced in the Laboratory, an underground area tied to him. The Prototype's fight takes place in a green reactor arena.
How Boss Fights Work
Boss fights show a boss bar that stays on screen until the boss falls. Once the bar disappears, the fight is over. Still, wait for the countdown to the next wave before you relax, since you shouldn't treat the fight as complete until both have happened.
Pick open ground for the fight. You want room to sidestep, and you want no wall, pillar or platform close enough to trap you when a warning appears. Keep firing while you move instead of standing still in one spot.
How to Dodge The Prototype's Attacks
The Prototype uses two attacks you need to read quickly. The first is a red circle that appears around you and marks a zone. Move out of it as soon as it shows up, and don't chase the boss through it.
The second is a set of red fan-shaped sectors that spread across the floor around the boss, sometimes several at once. The unmarked gaps between those sectors are the safe floor. Slip into a gap and keep firing from there. Sectors keep appearing as the boss nears defeat, so keep dodging until the fight ends, and watch the whole floor since circles can overlap.
Do Bosses Drop Loot?
The Cove King and The Prototype have drop panels that list what they can give you, but a kill doesn't guarantee any of those items. If nothing shows up right after a fight, check your inventory before you assume the boss gave you nothing. A missing reward message doesn't prove that no drop happened.
FAQ
Do I need a specific weapon or class to beat a boss?
Bomber and Minigun can be used against The Prototype while moving and backing away from the boss. Keep enough room to dodge its floor attacks.
What do the drop chances on a boss panel mean?
The numbers are the odds displayed by the game. A listed chance does not guarantee that item after a kill.
