Screeches and bestial calls precede this pack of monkeys, each primate propelling itself forward on calloused knuckles.

SQ coordinated swarm
A monkey swarm coordinates its attacks more than a typical swarm, and deals swarm damage one step higher than a swarm of its HD would normally cause.
Environment warm forests
Organization solitary, pair, mission (3â6 swarms), or tribe (7â12 swarms plus 1â4 gorillas)
Treasure none
Unlike most swarms, monkey swarms work well together. A swarm of monkeys does not possess a true hive mind, but it is capable of working in tandem with other swarms to make basic tactical decisions in combat.
