Rautym

Rautym were a species of anomalous psionic monkey-like creatures found in the caverns and underground locations of the Savage Frontier in the North Faerûn.

Description
Rautym were small tall monkey-like creatures. They were completely hairless with their backs freckled with sports and they had no eyes.

Behavior
Rautym were pack animals and surely where there was one rautym, the rest of the pack were not far. The creatures stuck together, not just because of being weak or fearful, but because, as a group, a pack of rautym gained power from their kin.

Their lairs were filled with small faintly phosphorescent stone and rautym carried such rocks when traveling away from their lairs. The rocks served as psionic beacons and aided rautym's navigation. As such, they were vulnerable to spells that created magical darkness and silence. When faced with these spells, rautym fled in panic.

Abilities
They possessed psionic abilities to feel sound and hear light that served as a powerful substitute to eyesight.

Ecology
Rautym did not need eyesight and they lived in caverns and other underground habitats.
