Principle Fusion
Lion-tailed Macaque + Mandrill
When the Lion-tailed Macaque fuses with the Mandrill, its Canopy Intelligence power learns Read the Rank from the Mandrill's Dominant Color. Canopy Intelligence learns from Facial Status Display to read rivals' visible rank signals and sidestep contests with stronger kin, keeping foraging access intact.

Read the Rank
Canopy Intelligence learns from Facial Status Display to read rivals' visible rank signals and sidestep contests with stronger kin, keeping foraging access intact.
Helps in: social hierarchy, rivalry, group foraging, signal reading
How this fusion works
In a fusion nothing is bred: the Lion-tailed Macaque keeps its own body and its main power, Canopy Intelligence, and borrows one narrow lesson from the Mandrill. The lesson only helps in situations that reward it, so the fusion is a specialist edge rather than an all-round upgrade.
Fusions run one way. The Mandrill learning from the Lion-tailed Macaque would produce a different lesson. Fuse the reverse pair.
