Monkeys

    Monkeys, a new creature. They may come in different varieties:
    -A monkey that hits you in meelee, stealing bananas from your inventory and then running away (you can kill it to get them back)
    -A monkey with a ranged attack, throwing rocks at you.
    -A monkey (spawns rarely) carrying shinies, running faster than you, so it's very hard to kill in meelee. To get that loot you have to shoot it or drop bananas on the ground and try to push the monkey towards the bananas. When the monkey gets to a banana, it stops, drops any of its loot and starts eating for 10 seconds, timeframe in which you have to get the loot, otherwise it'll take it and start running again. It may also gather loot on the island when it doesn't have loot in its hands. It may also have natural resistance to projectiles (it takes more hits to kill it) so that people have a reason to use the banana strategy.

    It's Sea of Thieves after all.

    I would like to see monkeys in game and you can train them to rob other ships.

    @sundrynine24 I like this suggestion a lot! Would add more variety to the islands which at times have too many snakes, pigs, chickens and your suggestions give us many more ways to interact with them than the present animals. I like this sort of stuff, it really makes the world feel more alive.

    Would they also be part of MA? Could I catch one and sell him to the MA?

    It's more of an offensive creature, like skeletons, so I don't think you should be able to sell it to MA. MA animals require to be common for the quests to be easy enough to do, if you start adding monkeys and more, island will be packed with creatures doing wierd noises every 2 meters.

    @sundrynine24 Well, if they do start adding more animals they could always decrease the number of current animals. I think the current number of animals is too high anyway. But that's irrelevant to whether or not monkeys are included.

    Yes, but then would be harder to find the animals you need for the quests, people may stop playing those

    Monkeys were confirmed a long time ago. They will be part of the update that will introduce pets, whenever it arrives.

    @sundrynine24

    While I would definitely like to see monkeys in the game, I'm not sure about having them as an enemy type.

    I mean, I'm reluctant to shoot an animal just to clear a cage if I caught the wrong kind. The thought of slaughtering monkeys like I do skeletons is a bit.... disturbing. Same problem I have when people suggest adding whaling in game.
