* LoweredMonsterDifficulty: Shakma is all about ripping his prey to shreds for most of the movie, [[spoiler:but during the final confrontation he briefly attacks Sam and then runs away]].
** This may be due to the fact he was quite affectionate with [[spoiler:Sam]] before the experiment.

* NonMaliciousMonster: While Shakma is a murderous baboon, he is just an animal who doesn't understand right from wrong. And the fact that he became insane from having his brain experimented on makes his behavior quite understandable.

Sam and his girlfriend Tracy both work as lab technicians at a highrise office building housing a medical research facility, for scientist Professor Sorenson. In particular, it's Sam's job to look after the animals used in Sorenson's work, and he has a particular fondness for a baboon named Shakma.

Along with Sorenson and their co-workers Gary and Bradley, they enjoy playing a {{LARP}} called Nemesis in the building after hours, and one night they schedule a game after all the other employees have knocked off for the night, inviting their friend Kim to play with them. Unfortunately for them, Sorenson had earlier performed some questionable brain surgery on Shakma, in an apparent attempt to reduce his aggression. It didn't go well, and the experiment apparently got reversed - Shakma instead became dangerously aggressive and started attacking people.
