Notes
In the mid Fall, typically around late November and as leaves begin to turn colors then drop, the Flying Monkeys lose one of their most important protective covers. Without the Summer foliage in the trees, flying monkeys are easier to spot. This season coincides with the period during which the green bears gorge themselves on snoz beetles in preparation for their Winter's hibernation. Typically very private creatures, the monkeys respond to the absent leaf cover by withdrawing deeper into the forests and by spending more time hidden away in the monkey caves. But the monkeys also respond to the lost privacy and lost food with anger. The anger translates to tremendously aggressive hunting during the new moon, followed by heightened merriment during the celebrations that accompanies the full moon. Of course, monkey merriment usually translates to suffering to any who might encounter one. The November full moon marks the most dangerous time to behold a flying monkey, and monkey attacks peak in that month year after year.
