The spawn of ordinary primates and bestial fiends of unknown ilk, flying monkeys are ill-tempered brutes. Despite their foul attitude, they recognize and gravitate towards power, willing to debase themselves at the feet of powerful spellcasters, particularly witches, should such service provide them an opportunity for personal advancement. Whether in the service of a spellcaster or not, flying monkeys enjoy missions of kidnapping, theft, and other forms of thuggery for fun and profit.

A 5th-level lawful evil spellcaster with the Improved Familiar feat can gain a flying monkey as a familiar.
