As Miyuka has said in the OOC Channel, a 'Monkey' is not listed as a possible Familiar, so I'm writing this to request one (only if it's possible!). Initially, I went under the impression that monkeys aren't a thing in Belariath because they're also listed as one of the animals you
CANNOT buy from the General Store (
http://belariath.com/shops/gs/menagerie.html); then I went under the mindset that it might have something to do with the fact that 'evolution' is not a thing in the RP because of all of the magic (humans not being 'evolved monkeys' and such).
But as Allivia pointed out: there IS a word in the vulpani language that is used as an insult to humans:
<•Allivia> Not quite an angel... aza`tan (ah-zah-TAHN): "ape-person"; an extremely racist insult for humans
And then there have been mentions of gorillas being in Dethsiris (though haven't been seen ICly yet).
Now I'm unsure if I have to make a
BIG write-up about a monkey (particularly I'm hoping to get Abby a pygmy marmoset), but if I must, I suppose I will.
But for now, I would like to see how far this request can go!
