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 usually lose a fight if there happens to be one. A cautious monkey will take longer to grab the nut, but most of the time win a fight. A player can have a maximum of two monkeys, and a team can have a maximum of twelve.
