WAR OF SWARMING BEGGARS: MONKEY ENTRY

This is the entry for the monkeys that dwell near the River of Swarming Beggars, they are the creatures from which the river gets its name. 

HAI'ANESE MONKEY

These are small long tailed monkeys who dwell by the river of Swarming Beggars. There are legends that they turn into demons during the Demon moon, but this isn't true (though there was once a monkey who dwelled here that turned into something monstrous during this time). These creatures are curious and social. They eat fruit and fresh-water crabs from the rivers. Their mouths have pouches which swell when they use them to carry food. They move in groups of 20-30, typically with a male functioning as the leader and with a strong sense of social hierarchy from top to bottom in the group.
