Monkey

Primates are one of the most intelligent of all bestial mammals and are believed to be closely related to many species of humanoids. The smallest of their kind are monkeys. To make up for their small size, they possess surprising strength and have a versatile tails which can act as an additional limb. Monkeys are also known for their superior intelligence amongst beasts using their agility, numbers. and their wit to steal food and frustrating predators by throwing poop .

Because of their wit and quick hands, they make popular pets and familiars for druids and many spellcasters, assuming the owner is willing to put up with its shenanigans.

Imp

Because of its small appearance and their ability to fly, imp monkeys are often confused with their fiendish counterpart. They are one of the few species of monkeys capable of flight possessing a pair of bat-like wings.

Imp Monkey Tactics

These little critters definitely use their flight to its fullest extent and earn their impish reputation. They love to flock together flying down to steal anything that sparks their interest while nimbly escaping with their prize in a game of chase as its victim pursues it. They often end up tossing it among other members of its troop to utterly confuse their pursuers.

Other times, they will fly about in flocks and toss poop at unsuspecting bystanders simply out of boredom.

Despite their antics, imp monkeys are rarely malevolent or are hardly dangerous to humanoids, even though they do have a particularly painful bite if they truly feel cornered or threatened.

Goblin

Goblin monkeys are the smartest, most vicious, and most conniving of all their kin. They tend to live in small gangs with up to 11(2d10) members. These little gremlins have learned to forge makeshift weapons made out of sharp sticks, stones, and even glass.

Whereas as most monkeys tend to harass humanoids or other creatures to steal valuables; goblin monkeys are content to not only steal the valuables but kill the individual as well using its as a source of food. They have even been known to use carcasses as a lure to draw out predators to their death to eliminate any possible threats to the safety of their gang.

Goblin Monkey Tactics

Goblin monkeys have also been known to bully other animals into doing their bidding. The largest and most powerful of gangs have bullied other monkeys into joining their gang and has been reported to have up to nearly 100 members of various species of monkeys. Some accounts have described them luring large predators to the camps of poachers. One account seemed to even claim that they were responsible for the stampede of dinosaurs that destroyed a small town, although the veracity of such as claim is still yet to be determined.

Spider

The spider monkey is a rather strange species of monkey, that possesses an additional pair of limbs. However, its most unique property is its ability to climb walls and even traverse spider webs with no difficulty. It is believed that these monkeys acquired these adaptations from living in regions where giant spiders were extremely prolific predators.

These adaptations allowed these monkeys to take completely reverse their role on the food chain easily escaping from webs and developing a natural immunity to spider poison. Instead, these monkeys have developed a symbiotic relationship with spiders.

Spider Monkey Tactics

Since spider monkeys are often too small to acquire large prey on their own, they resort to harassing creatures in mobs of 9(2d8) members into pursuing them by posing as helpless prey, flinging poop, or stealing their items. When these creatures give chase, the monkey's lure them into a webs of giant spiders. Once ensnared and the spider closes in, the spider monkey will attempt to aid by biting the captured creature or at least prevent it from fighting back by stealing weapons or objects.

Since spiders only consume the body fluids of its prey, the monkeys are able to feast on the leftovers once the spider has its fill. Because of this, most spiders tend to tolerate the presence of spider monkeys in their webs, since they are too much of a nuisance to try to chase down and kill since spider poison doesn't seem to effect them. Such a dynamic is quite interesting as these monkeys are quite loyal to their resident spider often engaging in turf wars with other spiders and monkey gangs whenever spiders fight over webs. Upon a defeat, the survivors often end up joining the side of the winning spider. However, it is not uncommon for a spider to still snap at a monkey who constantly intrudes on the spider's personal space or pesters it for too long.

Snowfire

One of the rarest of all monkeys are the snowfire monkeys. These monkeys tend to be quite elusive largely because of their unique fur that enables them to easily blend into their snowy surroundings. The reason for their rarity is that they tend to only reside near geothermal springs and geysers that may exist in such regions. It has even been reported that such monkeys are present in elemental hotspots where extreme heat and cold is ever present. This behavior is also the reason they acquire their names.

Snowfire Monkey Tactics

In such destinations, these monkeys live in large groups often consisting of 50 - 100 members which lounge and relaxing in such sanctuaries. It is somewhat unclear why these monkeys are attracted to such environments but they do make for curious companions whenever they do encounter newcomers to their home.

Living in such environment has enabled them to developed quite creative ways to defend themselves. When threatened, they are known to infuse ice or hot coals in their poop whenever they throw it at a predator.

Chimp

Chimps are the most common kind of primate, where the largest of their kin stand nearly as tall as a humanoid. Although they share many traits with monkeys, many chimps do not possess the prehensile tail and are not as agile as their smaller kin.

However, they make up for their bulkier build with their immense strength and versatile limbs that allows them to wield most objects that humanoids can. Chimps by nature are peaceful and very curious creatures. However, it times of danger, they all come together to face a threat using numbers and clever tactics to defeat their foe.

Gorilla

The gorilla is one of the largest of all primates wherein the largest of their kind can stand nearly 10ft. tall. Just like their smaller relatives, their colossal strength rivals that of some one the greatest humanoid champions.

Because of their sheer strength and size, they have few natural predators. However, when threatened, they can enter into a reckless fury of fists and teeth rending their foe limb from limb.

Dire Ape

The dire ape is the absolute apex of its kind. Some believe that such apes are a natural species of apes while other believe such creatures are the result of magical experimentation, druidic magics, or a divine gift.

Such creatures tend to be largely reclusive and surprising evasive despite their incredible size. Many woodland settlements see these creatures as benevolent protector to those who live within its realm. In fact, many settlements seen these beasts as their patron or aspects of the divine and often present numerous offering to their lairs. Others have learned to tame these creatures as powerful war beasts capable to tearing down the sturdiest of walls and barricades.

Baboon

The baboon is probably the most recognizable of all apes and gorillas thanks to its magnificent and colorful manes. It is also infamous for being the most territorial of all primates. Thankfully, such aggression is only targeted towards creatures that attack their communities or trespass upon their territory. For those unfortunate creatures, they are prone to being mobbed by furious primate fueled by rage-induced adrenaline.

Cave

The cave ape or gorilla is one the largest and most peculiar of its kin. Its origin in the Underdark has granted it a unique physiology which includes an additional pair of powerful limbs. Despite its similarity to the spider monkey, its large size and strength never required it to develop the adaptations of its smaller relatives.

Instead, it evolved to thrive in such environments by developing the ability to see in magical darkness as well as seemingly vanishing into the shadows. However, its subterranean life has impaired it as it is quite sensitive to sunlight. Because of this, these apes rarely come to the surface and if they do, they only come out at night.

Yeti

As their name suggests, these primates are often confused with their yeti counterparts. Some scholars believe that these primates actually are one of the ancestors to these beings but such claims require more research to be entirely certain.

Unlike their namesakes, yeti apes are quite peaceful creatures living in nomadic communities of 11(2d10) members. They have learned to fashion primitive tools to help them catch fish beneath the ice and find vegetation buried beneath snowbanks.

Their thick fur is able to shield them from the extreme cold as well as grants them ample camouflage against the snowy landscape.

Despite their frightening appearance, they are a welcome presence to humanoids as they have been known to aid lost travelers to areas of safety from the cold. There are even accounts where these apes had rescued those stranded in blizzards carrying them from the storm.

Savage

The most dangerous of all primates are the savage apes. These apes are easily distinguishable from their kin thanks to their elongated teeth and claws as well as their horned body and spinal ridges.

Although most apes are omnivorous, savage ape tend to lean towards the carnivorous end of the spectrum, actively hunting in groups of 5(2d4). They have developed a keen sense of smell enabling them to easily track their prey.

They employ brutal tactics while hunting its prey, aiming to cripple it rather than killing it outright. Upon killing their prey, they have been known to fashion very primitive weapons out of the bones of their prey and even have been rumored to collect teeth and other bodily ornaments as trophies and keepsakes.

Cats

Regardless of its size, their are expert predators at heart relying on their innate cunning and the element of surprise to capture their prey.

Housecat

Housecats are probably one of the most popular pets on the Material Plane. Despite being largely domesticated by humanoids, they still retain a lot of natural independence often leaving their owner's residence to embark on their own escapades.

As a result, many cats can seem to be somewhat fickle companions as they prefer to want attention on their own terms when its convenient for them.

Tressyms

Tressyms are closely related to the common housecat and shares many similar physical and behaviorial attributes. However, tressyms do sport a magnificent of bird or bat-like wings and are believed and have a special sensitivity to magical effects and poisons.

Because of these abilities, some people believe that tressyms are arcane experiments to make the perfect familiar. Regardless of how their origins have come about, they can commonly be found in large populated cities.

Jaguar

Jaguars are the smallest of all the predatory cats. They make up for their smaller size for their prowess as an ambush predator. The jaguar relies on its superior agility and surprising climbing speed to get in the optimal position for a first strike.

The jaguar is a calculating predator that only attacks creatures it thinks it could easily take. The jaguar prefers to hunt prey that is separated and isolated from its group. To prevent from getting injured, the jaguar's aims for a single killing blow. The quicker it can kill its prey, the more time it has to take it prize to a safe location away from other larger predators. If it is not able to kill its prey in one strike, the jaguar is more than content to quickly retreat and patiently stalk its prey again until it lets its guard down.

Lynx

Whereas the jaguar lurks in the darkest of jungles, the lynx excels in the craggy environment of jagged cliffs or mountainsides. Its paws are especially suited for climbing such perilous terrain with ease. On the rare chance that it does lose its footing, its superior reflexes often allow it to harmlessly land on its feet.

Night Panther

The night panther is closely related to the jaguar. In fact, both species share a lot of the same qualities and even tactics. However the primary difference between these creatures is that the night panther prefers to only hunt under the cover of darkness. For this reason, night panthers have migrated to the perpetual darkness of the Underdark where they are free to prowl without restraint.

While under the shroud of darkness, the night panther is an unsurpassed ambush predator. Its coat has the unique ability to merge into the shadow making it invisible even to creatures capable of seeing in the dark. The vision of the night cat is unique amongst all cats as it has the ability to perceive even through magically created darkness.

Because of these abilities, these panthers are prized companions for many adventurer thanks to their superior stealth and versatility.

Snow Leopard

The snow leopard makes its home in arctic climates. Its speckled fur often takes on various hues of white, blue, or silver that allow it to blend into its icy environment. Although such a coat is common for animals living in such an environment, the snow leopard's coat has the unique ability to seemingly vanish, especially under the cover of snowfall. Because of this ability, snow leopards are often known to hunt during heavy snowfall and even blizzards.

Dunerunner Panther

The dunerunner panther's most potent weapon is not its stealth, but its speed. Few beasts of the Material plane can rival the speed o the dunerunner panther as it is able to outrun even the fastest of airborne beasts.

However, just like its cousins, the dunerunner still relies on the element of surprise to kill its prey in one strike to prevent from getting hurt. Thankfully, its speed provides it enough momentum to slam into its prey like a bullet, knocking it to the ground. Hopefully, such an ambush is able to take down its prey.

If its hunt begins to go poorly, it can easily make a quick escape thanks to its unrivaled agility.

Canines

The canine has been the most widely domesticated of all carnivores on the Material Plane. They are valued for their keen sense of smell and their cooperative tactics while hunting. However, their best trait is their sense of loyalty to their pack which makes them easily trainable into a dependable companion.

Dog

Dogs are the most common of all canines as most of their kind has been largely domesticated by humanoids. They are known for their extremely friendly personality, making them an extremely popular choice for pets only rivaled by that of the housecat. They still retain some aspects of their pack-like bond making them very loyal companions often warning their owners of dangers or even coming to their aid in times of need.

Griffin Hounds

Griffin hounds are another commonly domesticated species of canine. Griffin hounds largely resemble common dogs except that they possess a pair of wings similar to that of a bird or bat. Just like the tressym, griffin hounds are believed to be magical creations designed with the intent to create the perfect familiar.

As a result, these animals have a keen sense of smell for identifying location and type of magical effects. Upon sensing these effects, griffin hounds have been known to give a certain bark to help identify what type of magical effect it can sense.

Wolf

The wolf is the wild cousin of the domesticated dog. Wolves tend to live in large packs consisting of up to 11 (2d10) members at a time. The packs not only help each other during hunts but also serves as protection and a community to raise you. Each pack is ruled by an alpha which serves which able to rally its pack to bring down much larger prey.

While hunting, their preferred tactic is to incite chaos amongst their prey by isolating weaker prey from the group while stronger opponents are relentless harried by hit and run tactics.

Although, wolves are wild by nature, they are able to be tamed. However, this process is a little more intensive as their predatory nature must be channeled in a constructive way lest they decide to turn on their masters.

Dire Wolf

Dire wolves are massive variations of wolves easily rivaling that of a large bear or horse in size. Asa result, they possess the strength to single handedly bring down most prey. However, like all wolves, they are notorious pack hunters using their sheer number to bring down nearly any foe.

Their large size also causes them to be quite problematic to humanoids as they no longer possess an innate fear of humanoids as they view their bipedal rivals as a source of prey instead. However, despite their predatory tendencies, dire wolves can be trained to be effective battle companions and even mounts using their innate pack tactics to synergize with battlefield strategies.

Blood Wolf

As their name suggests, blood wolves are known for their exceptionally keen sense of smell that allows them to pinpoint the location of wounded prey in their vicinity. After picking up the scent of blood, the wolves enter into a bloodlust frenzy fiercely hunting down their wounded prey.

Their acute abilities to detect the presence of blood makes them an attractive companion or even mounts for vampiric entities. In fact, vampires tend to use blood wolves to patrol their territory allowing them to devour any intruders. These undead entities are able to let these beasts roam freely as they naturally do not see vampires and undead as a viable source of food.

Lycangriff

Lycangriffs are one of the dominant predatory beasts in the sky. Lycangriffs appear to be a monstrous hybrid between a wolf and a bat. Just like their terrestrial relatives, they are able to hunt with incredible coordination and skill harrying their prey with strategic dives and flybys.

Because of their incredible efficiency and airborne capabilities, lycangriff find a lot of utility as flying mounts and air support for many warring societies.

Moon Wolf

It is also believed that the superstitious connection between wolves and the moon originated from encounters with the rare and elusive moon wolf. It is believed that the moon wolf has had close ties with the Feywild or at least regions altered by its otherworldly magic.

As a result, these wolves have acquired the supernatural ability to see creatures otherwise hidden by magic or illusions. They also possess an uncanny resilience against magical effects associated with such a realm.

Night Wolf

Although all wolves tend to be nocturnal hunters to some degree, none are as skilled at hunting during the night as the night wolf. Thanks to their enhanced vision, they are able to see clearly even in the blackest of nights. Also, their gray and black hide seems to give the ability to seeming vanish between the shadows obscuring their presence from their prey until its too late.

Due to their affinity for the dark, many night wolves are raised and bred by vampires to patrol their lands tandem with blood wolves. The combined talents of both types of wolves are typically more than enough to deter unwanted guests from their lands.

Snow Wolf

The snow wolf is a species of wolf that primarily live in snowy environments. Their white coats allow them to seemingly vanish amongst the snowy landscape, only to reappear in large numbers next to their prey.

It is said that the howls of snow wolves often are a sign of an oncoming blizzard as their packs tend to hunt much more frequently using the snowfall to hide their presence.
