Monkey head

Post

This is very much linked to the suggestion of climbing or at least being in the treetops or on a stump, but since so many people have suggested climbing tails and climbing limbs, I decided not to make another suggestion surrounding that. So here's the idea. I think the tops of those huge jungle trees could easily support a few nesting sites. This is where the new head comes in. 

Howler Head

  • 1+ collecting
  • 2+ smelling
  • 1+ loud call

The principal of loud call is similar to strong voice in some ways but different in others. Loud call can only be used on a high place, such as a stump or a tree. It can scare away predators (including apes!) and rogue males within a certain range of tiles so you can safely descend from the trees to gather food (just make sure you get back up there fast!) and it has a higher chance of attracting wanderers than the regular call.

I love this idea, but i think it should be longer and hairier so it looks a bit more like a howler monkey

I based the original design on a marmoset because marmoset are adorable as heck!

But I may upload a howler monkey-esque design to see what people like the best 🙂

I agree that marmosets are cute, but it wouldnt really make sense for me personally if the genes main purpose is it's ability to call, seeing as howler monkeys have specialised vocal systems that allow them to make much louder vocalizations than other monkeys. It would also make sense if the call was to have higher chances of success than a nicheling with another head gene calling. That being said,I wouldn't be complaining if we did get a marmoset like face instead
