Monkey
- See also: Ape
Monkey is the name given to any of a number of species of smaller primates who inhabit Golarion's warmer forests. They are very social animals that spend most of the day looking for food.1
Monkey swarms
Monkeys sometimes congregate in large groups of hundreds of individuals. In such numbers, they can be quite dangerous if threatened.2
Monkey species
A large number of species are classified as monkeys, including the ones listed below:
Baboon
Baboons are larger monkeys known for their short tails, large, canine-like teeth, and aggressive nature. They live either in warm-climate forests or plains.23
Monkey-like species
Quite a few creatures on Golarion bear some resemblance to monkeys, including the humanoid vanaras of distant Vudra.4
Monkey magic
Monkeys are the inspiration of numerous magical abilities:
Animal focus
Hunters are known to be able to take on various animal aspects, or apply them to their animal companions, including that of a monkey. Adopting this aspect grants the person or animal increased climbing ability.5
Familiars
Monkeys are frequently taken as familiars by spell-casters. The magical connection between the two increases the master's nimbleness when the monkey is nearby.16
Monks of the Four Winds
Certain advanced monks known as Monks of the Four Winds can take on a monkey aspect. Doing so transfigures the monk's face into that of a monkey, makes her more whimsical and playful, allows her to grow a prehensile tail, and to become a great climber.7
Screaming Jungle
Some claim that the Mwangi Expanse's Screaming Jungle gets its name from the countless vocal monkeys that inhabit its jungle canopy.8
