%%* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Hanuman and his monkey army taking out Ravana. Although the Shadow Puppet narrators have a bit of an argument on whether or not Hanuman is a monkey or not. They decide that they can't figure out what the heck he is, and say he's a species all his own. This is because Hanuman and the monkey army are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanara Vanaras]], monkey-like humanoid creatures from Myth/HinduMythology.
