OPO-OPOS

Opo-opo are clever little creatures with prehensile tails and opposable thumbs that dwell in forests, both in the tree canopy and on the ground. Their colonies--often called "troops"--are headed by a dominant opo-opo, and are known to cooperate in order to feed the whole. (1)

As the agriculture of Man spreads, opo-opos have turned their foraging ways to pilfering, plundering storehouses as well as fields to the point of barrenness. Thus are they considered a pest species, and young adventurers are often sent to cull their numbers. (1)

GALAGO

Galagos range around the northern parts of Cedarwood, in Lower La Noscea. As thieving as any of their cousins, they often help themselves even to things they cannot possibly use--such as flour--and hoard it. (2) (3)

Generally not aggressive, they do sometimes attack those who stand in the way of their plundering, and young arcanists, rogues, and marauders are often asked to cull the population. (4) (5)
