    Baboons

    Baboons are a faction in Caves of Qud, notorious for throwing stones. The majority of baboons inhabit the desert canyons and hills.

    After throwing a weapon, any baboon will retreat for a short time before advancing and throwing another.[1] Hostile baboons become terrified for 2 rounds if they are within 5 tiles of a player character equipped with a neck-ring.[2]

    Being killed by a stone thrown by a baboon at Red Rock grants the Red Rock Hazing Ritual achievement.

    Tips

    This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
    • Taking the Thick Fur mutation or starting in the hills, with a free neck-ring, will grant neutral reputation with baboons.
    • The lair of a legendary baboon also houses several legendary shrewd baboons with their troops,[3] providing a great opportunity for drastic changes in reputations.
