Su-monster

Su-monsters were evil primate-like creatures with innate psionic abilities. They could be found in the Snowflake Mountains as of 1361 DR, and were prevalent on the Yadd al-Djinni islands of Zakhara's Crowded Sea in the same period.

Description
Su-monsters had gorilla-like heads, attached to a canine physique, with broad chests and thin, tapered waists. Their four prehensile limbs were tipped with sharp nails, which alongside their prehensile tails made them adept climbers. They could suspend themselves upside-down, and often used this to their advantage when hunting for prey.

The creatures had filthy gray fur, black faces, and blood-red paws. They were known to inhabit both underground areas as well as open-air wilderness, in a wide variety of different environments, and in both tropical and temperate climates.

Personality
Evil and chaotic by nature, it was a matter of debate among druids whether su-monsters were considered sentient or not. Beseeching his god, Silvanus, the druid Newander was able to determine the primates as self-aware, and thus fair game to kill.

Combat
In addition to fighting using their extremely sharp nails, su-monsters possessed a limited amount of psionic ability. They were also capable of picking up and throwing rocks.

Society
Su-monsters were most often found in groups of up to twelve individuals, often forming family units consisting of two adults, one male and one female, along with several offspring. If an individual member of the family was threatened, the other members would fight ferociously in their defense.
