Baboon

Baboons were a species of herbivorous species of monkey that lived in groups.

Behavior
Baboons were known for being very territorial and would attempt to drive off any invaders. However, they generally would flee if met with determined resistance by their invaders. Whenever they were threatened they would bark and howl.

Ecology
These creatures lived in packs of ten to forty members, with two to eight large males acting as leaders.

Habitats
Baboons lived in forested, mountainous, or plains regions with a tropical or subtropical climate.

They inhabited the jungles of Chult. In the Hordelands, numerous tribes of them lived within the Howling Gap and their howls were thought by some to be the mountain pass's namesake.

In the Zakhara region's Crowded Sea, they could be found in the island chain of Nada al-Hazan and the archipelago of Jazayir al-Sartan.
