I still wouldnt trust them.

Hairy palms...

 

[daryen]

Don't the beaked monkeys also act as some sort of "psionic booster", too?

Monkeys fling poo. Beaked Monkeys are awesome with Sweet and Sour sauce, and some fried wontons.

 

[Spiderfish]

Exactly monkies are like hairy two year olds with lots of teeth.

Well, my attempts to saddle the PC with a pet Beaker Monkey in my Reasearch Station Gamma conversion failed miserably.

I did, however, get the PC on the professor's dissection table where the prof drilled a hole in his skull and took a sample of his brain tissue, showing him the whole thing on CCTV.

So it worked out OK in the end.

To which I not so bravely reply: " I love your work, but I think I would rather read about it than "live" it."

P.S. Any time you see your GM looking at a history of trephines you should run away, far away.

These monkeys, do they with the howling and the gibbering while they're getting roasted?

And only the black and the white ones are psionic boosters. Multi colored and other colored monekeys are not psionic.
