>with anime eyesThat are smaller than the new starter's.
>and a bulb on its backThis isn't making any commentary about how detailed it is. It just looks like a bulb.
>with just 3 nails straight from the legYes, it actually has visible claws, unlike the new starter. Thanks for pointing it out.
>Cartoon monkey with no bodyBecause it's not meant to be a cartoon monkey. It takes traits from various things.
>simplified hands and feetBut it doesn't. It has visible paws and linework around its fingers. Its feet are angular and look like functional feet rather than noodles.
>The Leaf on the top of the head resemble its typingExcept that's the only visible piece of possible fur on its entire body and it has no other detail, unlike Mankey who has realistic fur drawn on its body.
