Monkey Monastery is a realm in Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. It is a temple owned by Monkey monks. Ripto sent his Riptoc army to capture the dragonflies roaming around the temple, creating factories so that they could build turrets to destroy the Monastery. The monks can't fight back because they couldn't get involved with anything violent. Another dilemma is that the Riptocs have captured and frozen the Yetis (the possible protectors of the Monastery and backbone for the monks), except for Bartholomew. Soon, Spyro came along and peace was restored to the Monastery.
The Monkey Monastery is also home to the Ice Slide, where the player has to beat the clock whilst sliding past obstacles and ravines in the course. There are two rounds in this course, the second being harder than the first, and successfully completing the Ice Slide gives Spyro two dragonflies.
It is also home to the Spitfire Factories missions, where you have to destroy 20 turret factories and avoid the turrets.
Glitches[]
In the Factory Spitfire Minigame the Club Riptocs sometimes drop green gems (each worth 2). This allows the player to go past the 900 gem limit for the level.
Also, the monkey that gives you the mission for the Flying Riptocs has its head turn backwards if you slowly walk behind him. His head tracks Spyro's movement no matter the angle.

Trivia[]
- There's a hidden chest with a beach design on it and it needs a key, inside the chest is a dragonfly. The hidden chest was originally supposed to appear in Luau Island, but it was moved to Monkey Monastery without changing the design on it.
- The monkeys in this level bear a close resemblance to the original version of Agent 9.
- The dragonfly Cueburt has the same name as Q*bert from the Q*bert series.
- Every yeti besides Bartholomew in this level resembles the Colossus Yeti. It is possible that the Colossus Yeti is the leader of the Sasquatch Six, and the other five are not guilty without his instructions.
- The fodder in this level are the same from Midday Gardens and Bentley's Outpost in Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
- The elephant enemy AI return from Frozen Altars in Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
