Role, availability & values
It has 65 hit points, moves at 7.0 speed and deals 6 hand damage. Its low durability does not guarantee a safe approach if it is grouped with other guardians or the Explorer is already injured. Treasure placement varies by map.
Matchup & timing
Clear the Macaque and inspect the rest of the Treasure site before claiming the reward. Use the Explorer or support unit to finish the guardian, then collect only when enemy forces are not nearby to interrupt.
Treasure guardian with a small hand attack
Lion-Tailed Macaque is a Treasure guardian with 65 hit points in Definitive Edition, speed 7.0, line of sight 9 and a 6-damage hand attack every 1.5 seconds. It grants 4 experience when defeated under update 14.43676; before that update the bounty was 8, and its earlier hit points were 60.
Check the whole guardian group
The Macaque is one of the weaker guardians, but it is often found in groups, with up to ten guardians at a single Treasure. Clear the entire group before collecting and keep the Explorer near the reward so the guardians do not retreat and recover. Its hit-point change in Definitive Edition also means older Eagle Eye advice may differ.
