Something to Scare the Children With

I have no idea whether or not this puppet was ever intended for children.  It makes you wonder, though, who would actually give their child something that looks like this to play with?  I love him, but he's the stuff nightmares are made of.

Why do people associate monkeys with bellhops?  Would you really want this little guy carrying your luggage?  Maybe in the hotel you check into in your nightmeres.  His little composition head is a bit chipped up, giving him a rather scary look.
