A Monkeyspeak amulet is very useful for gathering bitternuts, as the player can "Anger the monkey" or "Caution the monkey". An angry monkey will grab the nut quickly, but will always lose a fight if there is one. A cautious monkey will take longer to grab the nut, but will always win the fight. A player can have a maximum of two monkeys, and a team can have a maximum of twelve.
