Race: Mohnkee
-------------

Considered rogues and scoundrels by many, Mohnkees often live up to their reputation. They possess nearly unnatural quickness and dexterity, which they use to become thieves of unsurpassed skill. The more aggressive of the race become warriors. Although not strong, their blinding speed and flexible tail, which they use like third hand, allows them to strike down their opponents before they can react. A few Mohnkee become craftsman, using their natural talents to learn tanning, sewing or similar crafts. Mohnkee are very small, like normal monkeys and while very clever are often too playful for their own good and have difficulty concentrating on a task for long period of time.

Mohnkee

As with most intelligent races, mohnkees have their counterparts in the world of animals as well. While most races are very good at things such as magic or fighting, or at knowing a little of everything as in the case of my own race, mohnkees are the best natural thieves I have ever seen.

In fact, it is rare that mohnkees do anything else. Perhaps it is unfair to accuse a race, in general, of consisting of thieves, but I consider it to be no less fair than accusing a race to be, in general, stupid, and ogres have to undergo this treatment daily.

Mohnkees live in wooden villages which are built in the tops of trees. The individual buildings are built around the trunks of the trees in a glade, and there are bridges connecting the buildings together. There are also ropes that are lowered so that non mohnkee friends can visit the town Since the mohnkees themselves rarely have need for the ropes they are generally kept raised to prevent unwanted visitors.

Mohnkees are rather small physically, and very agile. They have prehensile tails and long thin fingers. Their fur ranges from bright orange to nearly black.
