| | | A stupid Question
Apologies if this has been mentioned or discussed, but what are those scary grass monkeys  that follow you around the game in Chapter 1? The Witcher had me wondering "WTF?" with a lot of its content, but the one question I'd like answered is that. Thanks guys! |

| | | Do you mean little kids? They follow you around in every chapter because you're a spectacle, but they don't do anything.

SWC | LOL! No, they're these little critters with tails and a really scary monkey like face. They run circles around you if they catch up to you. They're pretty small, but they make some weirdo noise. I swear I'm not crazy  |

Saw quite a few of them by the river, little red devils.
Maybe the Beast twisted cats into monkeys?  Has anybody seen cats in the Outskirts? Plenty of mice but no cats.
Or maybe they were a product of wickedness too? Then the local wickedness was indeed special.

| | | That's weird. I've never seen these creatures, and I started playing again after the last patch. Does anybody have a screenshot?

| | | I believe that they are imps. I know that I saw a reference to that effect somewhere, but I can't recall where. They definitely existed pre-patch as I saw them in 1.1 too, they are non-interactive, so if you changed your visual settings post patch (especially ground cover) they would have started showing up. |

| | Odd. Mine was patched to version 1.2 and I haven't seen them either.

| | | I've seen them all over the Outskirts as well.
In a few areas of the game they are around in a predetermined ratio, but are completely non-interactive.. just there for "atmosphere".
Go to Options > Advanced and set the "Small Animals" slider up or down from Few to Many

| | | Yep, seen these all over the place and I was patched from the start. Assumed someone that read the books would make sense of them.
