Once again I design a monster then I look for an image, this is fairly close.

A shriek from above is the only warning as this streak of black and white fur descends towards your face.

Resembling normal tamarins apart from their sharper claws and scorpion tails, they sometimes like to follow normal tamarins which are friendly and harmless. These tiny omnivores are known to gang up on larger prey relying on ambushes, hit and run poison strikes, and ranged strikes. Local legends hint that they were magically crossbred from normal tamarins and greensting scorpions with a touch of troll blood to become a more durable familiar, however their hunger overwhelmed their senses and the turned on their creator and escaped into the wild.
