Special Abilities

Scream (Su) A screaming monkey can issue a gut wrenching scream as a standard action every 1d4+1 rounds, dealing 2d6 points of sonic damage within 15-ft. long cone. A successful Fortitude saving throw (DC 12) halves the damage. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

Screaming monkeys are loud and obnoxious primates that somehow developed ability to weaponize their voices to hunt small animals and vermin, and repel larger predators. They have tendency to gorge themselves on meat and fermented fruits, and are prone to overconfidence that often leads to their deaths—which they compensate by constant breeding.
