It is known for its short temper and aggressive demeanor, often found living in groups in the treetops. Its Pokédex entries consistently highlight its propensity for fits of rage, especially if it loses sight of its group, becoming infuriated by its loneliness.

Its design, resembling a pig-like monkey, contributes to its unique appeal.
