Need a 3e monster, QUICK!

[Sniktch]

What about Sumonsters? (isn't that what they were called? You know, the nasty psionic monkeys from 1E that I think showed up in the PsiHB) I always liked them, especially after the trouble my group had with the one in the original Temple of Elemnetal Evil.

Start with the Carnivorous Ape. Adjust the intelligence to suit you. Add Regen 2 or 3. Give them the ability to speak. Up the CR by +1. Voila.


P.S. - According to my university, correctly using the word "voila" accounts for roughly $57 of the tuition I paid to take Introductory French.

The only book I have is the MM. Of course, I have access to The Creature Catalog (in fact, I owe them a monster that, someday, I'll get around to detailing).

So, from those two sources, which monster, stock, most fits the description given?

Given the nature of the project, I really wanted to use stock monsters, but I may resort to building my own.
