Oh, right, I missed the "not in hominidae" bit in the recap. Guess withdrawn.

Clarification question: Are "apes" considered "gorillas"?

Free guess: Bandar-Log, from the Jungle Book, who were apparently grey langur monkeys.

If not, was this character's first appearance in a 19th century novel by an English writer?
Not Bandar, and first appearance was not in a 19 th century novel by an English writer.

This will be Q 20. Does anyone wish to make further guesses?

Gorillas are a subset of ape. Additionally, gorillas are part of family Hominidae.

Revised free guess: Chee-chee, the Francois' Langur from the 50's comic _Tor_.

I’ll give until 4:30 Eastern time to throw out additional guesses before I answer Q 20.

And we have a winner! I am surprised it took this long. In my eyes, Sun Wu Kong is not particularly obscure by any stretch of the imagination.

I've kind of given up on this myself, but I'll share some of my findings in case it inspires somewhere else.

I considered but rejected three possibilities:

Nkima (Tarzan). Tarzan is not really fantasy.

Ozymandias (His Dark Materials). Unnamed in the book, but given this name in the radio show. But this is not a character on its own but rather spirit of a human character.

Shift (Chronicles of Narnia). Stated to be an ape, but of unstated species. Illustrated in the book as chimp. This would have earned at least a "pass", if not a yes, on the "hominidae" question.

Other than that, I think I'm tapped out.

I almost said Staurt Little early on, but remembered that he was never actually a mouse until the 1999 film released. Rather, he was just a tiny, tiny man
