The lemax (or “lizard monkey”) unfortunately can
be found scattered throughout the forests of the
Iron Kingdoms. At their best they are a nuisance
and at worst outright brigands. Over the years
I have had more than my fair share of run-ins with these
pests, and, though individually weak, beware of them when
they’re in numbers.
A grotesque mixture of scaly skin and tufts of hair, the
main features of the lemax are its exaggerated facial structure,
thick black mane, glowing yellow eyes, and prehensile tail.
Their main weapon is an acidic spittle that they emit from a
mucous sack located deep within their
throat, but they also love to throw
rocks. Lemax have a unique but
primitive language of
hoots, howls, clicks,
and hisses.
Lemax rarely
attack head-on,
preferring instead
to nip at your heels
(until one day you
wake up to find your feet
missing). They are persistent pests,
always testing your nerves and patience. They excel at harassment,
especially in the night. They bellow and bawl, scare
horses, and they even sneak into camps just to kick out your
fire. It is also not uncommon to wake from a quiet evening’s

rest to find your sacks rummaged through and your best pair
of trousers drooled on. But I digress.
The trees are a home to the lemax, and it is best to camp
in clearings if at all possible when traveling through their
territory. Another piece of advice I would give, if you wish
to avoid a confrontation with the lemax, is to leave a peace
offering outside your camp. This works only if you have not
harmed any lemax and they feel satisfied by your gift. A peace
offering should include both foodstuffs and shiny things. If
found to be sufficient the lemax will leave you alone; if not
they will most likely spit in your face.
Combat
Lemax prefer to outnumber their opponents and rarely
attack any group that they do not outnumber two to one. They
tend to use hit and run tactics and use their skills and abilities
to their utmost advantage.
Acidic Spittle (Ex): A lemax’s
main defense is its acidic
spittle. This is a ranged
