The Monkey Mansion (猿侯爵邸, Saru koushaku yashiki, Monkey Marquis Mansion) is an area accessible from Wormwood.

Features

The Monkey Mansion is a large and fancy mansion inhabited by monkey servants and rotating giant monkey heads. It contains many doors that are blocked off not by construction signs but by objects added as part of the scenery, leading to questions of whether or not development of this world is finished.

The entrance hall has you greeted by two monkey servants, and you can access the rest of the mansion by climbing the stairs. Past the entrance hall, there are two paths, one on the northeast and one on the southwest sides of the main hall.

The upper right path leads to a short hall ending in an unopenable doorway, with four intermediary doorways. Both of the doors on the north face of the hall lead to empty rooms with a single monkey servant, while the door on the southwest face leads to a large dining room with several plates and chairs, one of which is a regal-looking couch. This presumably belongs to the Monkey Marquis, who you will meet later.

The southwest path from the main hall has a single door, that leads to a small room with another blocked-off door on the other side, and a pair of upward and downward stairwells.

Heading to the lower floor leads to a short hall with two doors on the north face, one door on the south face, and another stairwell leading to the basement. The basement contains a door blocked by construction signs; one of only three of its kind in this world. The northeast door is unopenable, the northwest door leads to a room containing a strange creature which appears to contain a starry sky on its surface, and the south door leads to an endless hall with several doors, all of which lead back to the original door.

Meanwhile, going up the stairs leads to another hall with two doors on the north face and a door at the end. The two doors on the north lead to the same room, a room with a strange fish, and another door on the other end blocked by the water the fish is in. The door at the end of the hall leads to the main room of the Monkey Marquis. 

The Monkey Marquise's hall is easily the strangest room in the area. It contains strange red and purple tiles with plants of the same color, several monkey servants and heads flitting about, and other strange sights such as toucans flocking the entrance. The music is regal and imposing. The Monkey Marquis himself, relaxing in his throne, is the biggest monkey of the mansion, with his strange purple and lavender striped coat- more on that in the next section. There are two halls on the east and west sides, both of which are blocked by construction signs. 

Urotsuki's Dream Apartments Parallels

This world is a subtle yet quite faithful parody of the Urotsuki's Dream Apartments. The entrance hall parallels the main hallway of the apartments, with the same northeast and southwest halls of the original area. Even the door placement is similar between the worlds. Most notably, the Monkey Marquise parallels Urotsuki herself, with the patterns on his coat, and the placement of his room. One of the doors in their hall will most likely lead to his balcony.

The significance of this parallel is unknown. Perhaps it could mean that Urotsuki views herself as less than human, as her dreams tell her that her ideal person is monstrous and barbaric.

Other parallel rooms are described here:

• The dining table room parallels the Trophy Room.
• The strange door at the end of the northeast hall parallels the door to the Dressing Room. Presumably, in future updates it will contain several alternate outfits that would fit on the Monkey Marquis.
• The lone door on the southwest hall with another blocked-off door parallels Seishonen's room.
• The endless hall with the doors that all lead to its entrance parallels the Simple Street. 
• The Space Creature's room parallels the room with the long-haired girl and the razor blades.
• The blocked doorway in the basement parallels the shortcut to the Forest Pier. 
• The room on the upper floor with the fish and the door on the opposite side parallels the room in the original apartments which contained several boxes and the key door to the Developer Room. One of the blocked doors in the Monkey Marquis's room will likely lead to the other side of that canal and allow you to enter that door, as a parallel of how one enters the Developer Room.

• 

  The Dining table. I think the chairs are like the trophies.

• 

  I wonder if the Marquis dresses back there.

• 

  Okay, this guy has nothing to do with the razor blade room, sorry.

• 

  Aren't these doors supposed to lead to other places?

• 

  I wonder if I can find the mansion's architect on the other side of that door.

• 

  This guy must have some weird dreams.
