A monkey brandishing three knives and a cold smirk is scary enough. The Internet, however, decided to make it even more terrifying. 

Reddit user GallowBoob posted a photo to r/PhotoshopBattles of a monkey armed, quite literally, to the teeth with knives. (Don't worry, it was trained by a professional.) Unsurprisingly, users worked quickly to put the creature in a variety of outlandish scenarios.

Some saw a terrifying creature about to commit a crime. Other users imagined a bold monkey about to perform great deeds, and a few people thought of scenes that were just, well, weird. Thanks to Photoshop, we can picture exactly how a knife-wielding primate would look in all of those situations.
