Sparkplug Monkey



The Sparkplug Monkey is a curious creature who, upon the effects of the Virus, was treated with two very essential powers for surviving in the mutant-riddled forests of the Pacific coasts. They're fast - damn fast indeed. They have intelligence equal to that of a young boy, and that tail can pack a punch; even if it's at the expense of the monkey himself. Herbivores and Insectivores at nature, finding one is not much a fright at all, and even a blessing to some.

Powers
Helicopter Propulsion - This power is highly evident from its spinning tail. The tail in particular is no longer prehensile, and cannot wrap around trees. As a trade off, it's quite hard and allows flight and levitation. Because of the Sparkplug's light weight, the lift needed to carry themselves off the ground is very low. As such, flocks may be found flying throughout the forest, and even hovering for days at a time.

Electro-Spark Manipulation - The secondary power has little use for the Monkeys. It's a good moderate defense mechanism against hungry predators, but is otherwise a danger for those who wish to fly in damp weather. For the people who wish to capture them, it's a blessing. They are an excellent short-term energy source for those with no electricity-based powers. In a world with no running electricity, finding one means survival.
