Surprisingly, no.  Even if you could get a chimp to type, instead of smashing the mouse into the keyboard repeatedly, the chance of it correctly (randomly, because chimps don't know how to read/write/spell) spelling a 8-letter word would be 1 in 302231454903657293676544.  And that's a chimp, not a monkey.  



Monkeys would just rip apart the keyboard foraging for crumbs and insects.  :)  



However, oversized lemur-men with complete mastery over the forces of magic makes for a pretty cool PC race.  I really should finish that...

Or you could just use a liger. After all, they are bred for their magical skills.

The "oversized lemur-men" was actually a reference to one of the player character races in my home-grown fantasy campaign world, as yet sadly incomplete.  



However, ligers: http://www.sierrasafarizoo.com/animals/liger.htm are pretty darn cool, too.  Or is there a D&D monster known as liger which I'm unfamiliar with?

I'm sure they have Dire Undead Ligers in 3E.


If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Gamma World TSR: Role Playing Games | eBay

Gamma World TSR Science Fiction RPG 1983
terriers, Bassets, Beagles Kennels


Nothing about these dog breeds in the description. Maybe they are the Seller's favorite stocks for mutant animals....Life Leech Basset Hound anyone?

They have one other auction with the same subtitle. It's a book on Stonehenge. Was it was built by ancient pack of little dogs? 8O

Note the "Godd condition."  That's not listed as an option here on the Acaeum, but I'm guessing that's pretty impressive?

Ok, how people feel about this seller is well-documented here, but this is extreme even for them:

cgi.ebay.com/TSR-9061-S4-The-Lost-Caver ... dZViewItem

That's "fine" condition?  WTF?   8O
