I was kind of thinking that they would be competing with the trogod for human trade as well as fishing rights. I was thinking that they were a bit like a cross between Runequest baboons, newtlings and possibly ducks(ouch), (in character not appearence), dealing with humans where profitable and necessary. Very attached to the water, they could, like the real life swamp monkey, swim very well and hold their breaths for long periods of time. They would be as at home in the water as on the roots and trees. Some may even work with the river-men or become player characters.
I think other apes or monkeys are definately open for ideas. The mamprusi could take on a far sinister aspect further down the Green. I like the runner idea and was thinking of the freelings or other tree humans having monkeys as pets or familiars. Any thoughts?
