Monkeybears are primates with bear-like faces. They stand about three feet tall, and their fur ranges from light ochre to deep brown. Though small, they are quite muscular and can grab onto and hold items very tightly. They live in many forest and jungle environments and hunt in a pack.
They make large nests in high trees. These nests generally contain a small trove of coins and other items that were stolen over the years. They are quite intelligent and many learn a few words of the Common language through observation of the intelligent races. Their favorite phrases are “Mine now”, “But so hungry”, and “Have pity, starving”.
Special Abilities
Grab Attack: To make a grab attack, they make a single melee attack that round. If successful, they have grabbed the item in their strong arms. An opponent is allowed a save vs. Death Ray to try to keep the item.
Theft Focused: In combat, their main goal is to steal opponents’ packs and weapons.
Flee When Cornered: If cornered, monkeybears will fight using their claws and teeth, though they will attempt to flee at the first opportunity.
