Macaques (TCG)

Macaques were also known as “snow monkeys.” Red-faced macaques were normally confined to the forested Seikitsu Mountains and the Islands of Spice and Silk. They were popular pets of samurai lords, and a sacred animal to Brotherhood monks, and therefore macaques were commonly captured and disseminated throughout the Empire. They were curious tricksters, stealing unsecured items and leaping away before much could be done about it. Famously, the skilled ninth-century duelist Matsu Sugeki was publicly embarrassed when, just before a duel with his rival, a macaque stole his sword right out of its sheath and scrambled up a tree with it. Unable to force the animal back down despite hours of trying, Sugeki was forced to use an ally's sword and, unaccustomed to its balance, subsequently lost. Path of Waves, p. 240
