Monkeys don't really want to eat regular food...
Neither does the Cat.
You need to give them more fish than anything else.
At first they try to eat people but you have to slap them around quite a lot in order to teach them not to do it. I've actually slapped my monkey around, :whistle: , so badly that he's almost died a few times...
When you see your creature eating the right food or casting a useful spell, don't hesitate, zoom in and stroke his tummy and pat him gently on the head...
It takes them quite a while to learn spells, but the monkey learns spells faster.
With a little bit of patience, your creature will eventually become your greatest asset.
My monkey ran around watering trees and crops all the time and he would also go fetch trees for me and drop them in the town centre.
Then he would also cast the wood spell into the town centre as well...
