The su-monkey is a specially bred monkey that the Scarlet Brotherhood has been able to invest with some of the qualities of a su-monster. Several small families have been planted in the Tarlan; the Brotherhood plans to distribute these creatures near targets with known psionic powers. They look like normal monkeys with heads that are slightly larger than normal.
Combat: When threatened, a su-monkey attacks with a series of scratches and bites that cause a total of 1 point of damage. More dangerous, however, is its ability to mentally attack with the Telepathic Science of Psychic Crush, which causes the victims to save vs. paralyzation or suffer 1d8 points of damage (if used in a psionics campaign, a sumonkey has 60 PSPs); they are immune to mental attacks and are unaffected by the find familiar spell. They completely ignore humans of Suel coloration and never attack them.
Habitat/Society: Besides using their mental powers, sumonkeys behave exactly like typical monkeys in regard to breeding, socializing and territorialism.
Ecology: Monkeys are not large enough or numerous enough to harm their environment. They make no items and their bodies have no known useful properties. Their mental abilities make them useful guardians.
