Monophants particularly enjoy hopping around the forest shaking their spiky rattles at everything. This threatening action seems to have very little effect on the trees, bushes and fungi on Ohk. Nevertheless the monophant persists with this harassment in the vain hope of startling a bush and making it run off. Monophants enjoy a good piercing such as bones through noses, rings through ears and studs through rattles. Gabo village residents hold piercings with high regard and the more piercings a local has, the higher their status in society.
