A look through Anaxials should give you a "Small" rating by comparing with whatever animal you see this species of monkey as being similar to (I gather they vary enormously).

I'd say Dextrous and Agile would both be important. "Fling Poop" might be better kept for *this* monkey rather than a part of the keyword?

Maybe take a look at Baboons for behavioral abilities?
