Three Monkeys

The three monkeys had always claimed that they had been sent by the Big Guy to guard the world from evil, though it would have appeared that recent history had not required the three to bother getting out of bed, let alone save the world. As such, they had each put on a substantial amount of weight, clearly the result of their strict dietary regime of one solitary sausage a day and, in Monkey's case, several pints of lager every night. The three brothers, who also claimed to be the original three wise monkeys, had each developed annoying traits which could sometimes be the only way to distinguish one from the other.

Seeno, who considered himself the most important of the three, was a self-centred, opinionated pain in the bottom. He suffered such delusions of grandeur that he appointed himself leader and, as he tried to distance himself from his brothers, preferred to be called Monkey.

Speakno often acted like a spoilt, moody teenager and only spoke when he could be bothered; believing himself to be the most intelligent but sulked terribly when things went wrong.

Hearno however, was the only half-decent one of the brothers, he was kind and thoughtful, yet he suffered from selective deafness which could get rather annoying at the most inappropriate moment.

The three brothers seemed to despise each other and frequently tried to outdo each other, regardless of the consequences for themselves and those around them.

However, when the need arose, they made a formidable team and were fiercely loyal to their adoptive family.
