Emps

Truly peaceful beings, Emps are simian creatures living in the Silverleaf trees of the Deep Forest. Extremely attuned to nature and all life, Emps do not eat meat, favoring a vegetarian diet and possessing a weakness for honey. Emps are quite intelligent and can be loyal friends if someone manages to gain their trust.

Emps are found in the Silverleaf tree grove of the Deep Forest in Yew.

The Avatar only encountered the Emps in Ultima VII in the Emp Village. They were mentioned in Ultima VII Part Two by Lord British, who told the Avatar that they had fallen into a deep sleep as a result of the imbalance. It is unknown what happened to them afterwards.

A similar race called Fuzzies lived in old Sosaria; in Ultima III, Fuzzies were a race option for character generation. It seems likely that Emps and Fuzzies are the same species, but this is ultimately unproven.

Notable examples

 * In Ultima VII, all the Emps the Avatar meets are interesting persons, after convinced to speak with a bribe of honey. Trellek is the most important one, since he gives the Avatar the whistle to call the Wisps.
