Monkey
- See also: Ape
Monkey can refer to 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[citation needed]2
Monkey swarms
Monkeys sometimes congregate in large groups of hundreds of individuals, which can be quite dangerous if threatened.3[citation needed]
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.4
Monkey-like species
Quite a few creatures on Golarion bear some resemblance to monkeys, including the humanoid vanaras of distant Vudra5[citation needed] and the goblinoid monkey goblins.[citation needed]
Monkey magic
Monkeys are the inspiration of numerous magical abilities:
Animal focus
Hunters can 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.6
Familiars
Monkeys are frequently taken as familiars by spellcasters. The magical connection between the two increases the master's nimbleness when the monkey is nearby.17[citation needed]
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 grants improved climbing abilities.8[citation needed]
Screaming Jungle
Some claim that the Mwangi Expanse's Screaming Jungle gets its name from the countless vocal monkeys that inhabit its jungle canopy.9
