Emps

Description
Emps are truly peaceful beings, looking somewhat monkey-like. Living in the silverleaf trees of the Deep Forest, they live in harmony with nature, thus also feeling, if nature feels not right. Emps don't eat meat, they favor plant food and have a big weakness for honey. Emps are quite intelligent and can be great friends if someone manages to befriend them.

Emps are found in the silverleaf tree grove of the Deep Forest.

Lore
''This extremely peaceful creature lives in the forest. It shuns violence to such a degree that it is doubtful it will want to have anything to do with any humans it comes into contact with. Some emps possess a remarkable degree of intelligence and magical capability. Emps are so named for their empathic abilities. So sensitive are they to the pain and discomfort of other living things that they subsist on a diet of such foods as milk and honey.''

- from "Fellowship", Ultima VII

Evolution in the series

 * Only appearance: Ultima VII

The Avatar met the Emps only in Ultima VII, but they were mentioned in Ultima VII/2 by Lord British, who told the Avatar that they had fallen into a deep sleep, a result of the imbalance. It is unknown, what happened to them but is probably they all died.

Notable examples

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