official description

bullet Brakas monkeys have strong arms and enjoy pelting passersby. They are extremely rare and difficult to find. If you happen to locate one, be sure to stop and take a picture.

the official description is fucking taunting us. read my blog on the brakas fracas

I can't guarantee the accuracy of the build I've photographed, but I guarantee it's at least Pretty Damn Close. Elements were contributed by myself, joint-dogg, and TommyGyroid.

You might've heard that Matau's Kau Kau staff was named after the sound of the Brakas. I just learned this truth was apparently devised by Greg in 2005 for the official encyclopaedia, and doesn't actually have a basis in any known 2001 sources. For all we know, Brakas might have originally said "ook" or "ough". The mystery deepens.....
