Perfect

A shrewd baboon is a creature belonging to the baboons faction. Shrewd baboons can be found in the hills, as well as on the surfaces of Red Rock and the Rust Wells.[1]

Shrewd baboons attack by throwing small stones from a short distance. After throwing a stone, shrewd baboons will retreat for a short time before advancing and throwing another.[2] A shrewd baboon will spawn with 5 stones; if they run out of stones, or if their target comes within melee range, they will attack with their vicious bite, a natural short blade weapon that deals ♥1d21-2 (Avg: 1.5) damage.[3]

Name

Baboon heroes will always generate with a random display name, which will be structured as: [name], the [1d10+23-12 (Avg: 7.5)]-ringed Baboon [title]. The number of "rings" the baboon has, as well as their title, will determine several of their properties.
