Homebrew Monkey Species Details

Monkeys are a large group of mostly arboreal mammals. Their natural intelligence and dexterity make them excellent choices for awakened servants. When these awakened monkeys escape or are let loose, they sometimes join civilization in search of a new destiny.

Monkey Traits

Your monkey character has the following racial traits.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Age

Monkeys have short lifespans. They reach adulthood around the age of 5, and can live to be almost 30 years old. Awakened monkeys may have longer lifespans depending on the lingering effect of the spell.

Alignment

Monkeys tend toward neutral or lawful alignments, as they are social creatures. Most monkeys live in complex social hierarchies, and when ripped away from their natural state by magic, they long for that feeling of companionship and society. They are rarely evil, with most of them driven by curiosity rather than greed or other dark impulses.

On the other hand, monkeys that undergo the traumatic experience that awakening can be can also have a dramatic change in alignment.
