And he is a monkey faunus so it does fit him and no one can say otherwise. No different meanings for the monkey or stuff like that. Sun is a monkey and his symbol is a monkey. That's all there is.

It think its for the same reason they didn't name fanus character after their animal half.They don't want being a fanus to become the characters whole identity.Particular behavioural habits being based on their animal half is cool but not majority of the characters personality being based on animal symbolism.

Sun being the exception because his antics allue to the lengend he is based on rather than him simply being part monkey
