The Marmosets are minor characters that appear in Rio. They are part of a gang of Common Marmosets led by Mauro. In Rio, they were ordered by Nigel to find the last two Spix's Macaws, Blu and Jewel.
Bio
The marmosets are first seen taking shiny objects from tourists, then they appear in the forest celebrating their new founds. Nigel then forces them to find Blu and Jewel and threatens them: if they fail to find the two blue macaws, they will all be forced to take "flying lessons" from him. They search for Blu and Jewel and find them at the birds' samba club, and have a fight there, birds vs. monkeys. They however lose the fight. Nigel finds them later and asks what happened. At the end of the film, Mauro takes a photo of a plucked Nigel.
Appearance
Almost all marmosets are gray in color with white heads, except for Mauro who is brown. They all have stripes on their tails and white ears.
Personality and Traits
The marmosets are mischievous and are attracted to shiny objects. They are also smart, knowing how to use phones and using jewelry for other uses. Nigel is the one who made them antagonists, so in reality, they were only been forced to be enemies from Blu and Jewel.

Trivia
- Several of the marmosets do the three wise monkeys' poses, meaning "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil" after Nigel throws their boss up into the air and catches him to force them to help him.
