Baboons are one of the many species of animals living in Bravelands.

Official description

The baboon troops are organized into rigid hierarchies, but they are meritocratic—every baboon starts at the bottom and can work his or her way to the top. The structure of their societies is based on trees; they believe all creatures fell from the sky, so to be high in a tree is to be closer to the Great Spirit. They also look to the sky for guidance about the future. The Starleaf of each troop interprets clouds, bird flight, lightning, shooting stars, and other celestial phenomenon.

Society

Just like in real life, the baboons in the Bravelands universe live in troops.

Crownguard

This rank was created when Berry was Crownleaf to protect her.

Strongbranch

This rank was created when Stinger was Crownleaf. You can be any rank to apply for this status, but to officially become a Strongbranch you have to complete a Strongfeat that is set up by Stinger.

Driftleaf

Stinger created this rank so that he could keep control of the animals of Bravelands' actions.

Starleaf

This rank can only be achieved if you are a Highleaf and if you pass the moonstone test. The Starleaf reads the signs of nature. They can read special Moonstones that tell them whats going to happen.

Highleaf

Lowleaf

The second-lowest rank of a baboon. To achieve this rank, a baboon needs to pass one of the Three Feats.

Trivia

• In real life, baboon society isn't as meritocratic as it is in the Bravelands Universe.
• Instead, baboon troops are mostly matriarchal and baboons are born into the rank their mother was in at the time of their birth. However the baboon can be promoted into a higher position based on their actions/behavior. Furthermore, female dominance is hereditary in olive baboon society.
