Monster Manual - Baboon

A type of monkey common in tropical grasslands. Their distribution overlapping with that of humans and their tendency to travel in large troops means one will have little difficulty finding them. On their own they pose little threat, only their dog-like muzzles being a point of worry. The troop as a whole is an effective predator deterrent. I myself was intimidated when I accidentally alerted a troop of 50, almost all of whom let up a series of barks, strong adults baring their teeth. When not on alert, they’re an inquisitive species of beasts. Once acclimated to humans they’re perfectly fine wandering through towns or camps. One man claimed to have learned their language and demonstrated his skill quite convincingly by getting some baboons to help him prepare a meal. Though seeing them handle knives and respond to his instructions was impressive, I turned down the food. Also: watch their hands! Baboons are larcenous beyond reason. --

Yellow baboons, specifically. Few of them are going to have as many individual creatures as this one. The Number Appearing thing is just from the original monster manual, it's not an indicator of what'll be shown.
