baboon

From atop their sunning boulder, this small monkey peers at you with eyes full of curiosity. Two puffs of grey fur billow out from either side of their face.

Perfect

A baboon is a creature belonging to the baboons faction. Baboons can be found in the hills, as well as on the surfaces of Red Rock and the Rust Wells.[1]

Baboons attack by throwing small stones from a short distance. After throwing a stone, baboons will retreat for a short time before advancing and throwing another.[2] A baboon will spawn with 5 stones; if they run out of stones, or if their target comes within melee range, they will attack with their \vicious bite, a natural short blade weapon that deals ♥1d21-2 (Avg: 1.5) damage.[3]

Like all creatures of the baboons faction, baboons will be inflicted with terrified for 2 rounds if they are hostile to a player equipped with a neck-ring, and come within 5 tiles of the player.[4]

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • Baboons are a common killer for beginners who do not know how to deal with ranged enemies. They are unable to throw rocks at what they cannot see, so hiding behind trees/rocks and waiting is suggested instead of chasing them down to get pelted by several of them at once.
  • Baboons start hostile to player with their starting reputation unless they start in the hills (with a guaranteed neck-ring) or have Thick Fur, which boosts reputation to neutral levels. Taking either can be a way to avoid combat with them early on.
