Fossil Monkey

Fossil Monkeys (Japanese: 化石サル, Kaseki Saru) are collectables in Xenoblade Chronicles. They can be found in Makna Forest and Colony 6. According to their description, people call them living fossils because they are rarely sighted. One is required for Colony 6 Reconstruction. In Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, they can be purchased from the Nopon Archsage in Time Attack for 7,900 Noponstones.
