Someone that isn't a main character, so can be pretty much comic relief.
I would say that this idea is neat, but would work better for a PC who has the Animal Companion Pulp talent, and who would not be played as an independent PC.
Have you ever watched a horror movie where the main character (who wasn't the villain) wasn't human? Even slasher movies or campy stuff. Pulp Cthulhu is still, at its core, horror, so PCs should be, at their core, humans. Sure, Pulp isn't an investigative game, but it still requires characters to be able to communicate complex ideas, make plans, and generally, be human.
In a movie or TV show, you can write it so that the comic relief character doesn't mess with the dramatic climaxes, but you can't really do that with a joke PC in a TTRPG without depriving a player of RP time.Īt the same time, depending on how straight you play it, it could make it tough for the player themselves. Pulp Cthulhu is less focused on realism than Classic Cthulhu, but it can still get dark, like many real pulps did. Joke characters in general aren't a great idea, because jokes don't work when repeated over and over again, and even in Pulp Cthulhu the Sanity mechanics, etc., are at their best when you can identify the victims as real people. You don't want a situation in which everyone is playing second fiddle to a joke character, because it ends up disappointing other people who put effort into making their characters larger-than-life, but not jokes. Depending on how much agency you give the monkey, they'll either be way too constricted as a character, or end up becoming the main character, which is always bad in a game with multiple people.
