Description:
	Mammals are the most common form of the vertebrate. Generally born
	alive, mammals possess hair. Warm-blooded, mammals maintain a single
	body temperature, regulated by an internal thermostat. Most mammals are
	harmless to humanoids and they are often trained to perform a specific
	function.

Carnivorous Ape:
	Carnivorous apes are not easily surprised. They eat anything they can
	kill.

Wild Baboon:
	Wild baboons are large, herbivorous primates that are characterized by
	long arms and legs, large dog-like muzzles, and sharp canine theeth.

Badger:
	Badgers are vicious little creatures that prefer to run from danger
	than fight. If cornered, the badger will fight, attempting to bite the
	tender throat of its opponent.

Goat:
	When a goat charges, it gains a +2 attack bonus and does an additional
	1-2 points of damage.

Gorilla:
	The gorilla is non-aggressive and shy, but fights fiercely when threa-
	tened or cornered.

Hyena:
	Often confused as a canine, the hyena taunts enemies with its nervous,
	high-pitched howl.

Jackal:
	Jackals are timid scavengers that run from the threat of other pre-
	dators. When attacking, the jackal darts in to bite its victim and
	quickly retreats to a safe distance. If more than one jackal is trying
	to down an animal, they attack in a haphayard fashion with little of
	no coordination of effort.

Skunk:
	Anyone within a skunk's 10x10x10-foot cloud of must will be nauseated
	for 1-4 rounds, losing 50% of strength and dexterity.

Wild Stag:
	Wild stags are the aggressive males of deer herds. Normally docile and
	passive, they defend their herds agains all but the most fearsome oppo-
	nents.

Weasel:
	Weasels, related to minks and stoats, ae common predators, though they
	are hunted for their pelts, or for pets.
