Social Creatures. Fire monkeys build nests high up in the canopy of wild places or thick forests, and often cluster their nests together in groups of trees. They welcome small villages of friendly humanoids within their territories, as such creatures are a ready source of useful objects and new forms of interesting food. Fire monkey troops often raid nearby civilized communities for small amounts of salt and sugar, or prepared foods for single meals, but do not otherwise cause much mischief unless provoked. Larger or hostile communities that persecute or hunt fire monkeys often suffer from numerous unexpected fires and destructive forms of larceny and sabotage. Fire monkeys have excellent memories and hold grudges against those who abuse them.
