A single swamp rantzy is harmless, for these monkeys are exceedingly cowardly and will flee if they see a human from a distance. In winter, however, when food is scarce in the swamp, they band together in larger groups (d20+10) and become extremely dangerous. You can often see the loitering monkeys from afar - but the pack waits until you get close. At first, only a few monkeys from the group willingly attack, but once the start is made, the mood becomes increasingly belligerent. The swamp rantzies don't fight with much thought or organization - they throw rocks, kick and thrash about just as they please. When the monkeys are defeated, they often flee into the swamp as if on cue.
