The Monkey Staff is a Shen Gong Wu that is a brown staff with a small monkey statue on top that turns the user into a being with a similar appearance, strength, agility and balance to a monkey. If it is used too long after the wielder calls out its name, then the user will turn into a monkey, and if left unchecked, the user will start thinking like a real monkey, and his or her human memories will be erased until the staff is taken away. This is shown once in the episode "The Year of the Green Monkey" when Chase Young manipulates Jack into using the Monkey Staff for almost the entire length of the episode. He fully transforms into a monkey and regresses to the point of not even speaking anymore, just letting out monkey screeches. Jack is shown to be extremely disoriented after he loses the Staff to Omi in a Xiaolin Showdown.
