yes. it is just the Zarkares with different cool look. When released was decent to use as the Zark was but that was way back when I started in my first 6 months or so. Sure, Monkey was the King not having the current shields. Even today, Monkey can be great in the hands of some top players using it as counter. Sadly, can't say the same for Saber but looks cool. Sure, I like Monkey looks from start.
