Many animals, like horses and elephants, in war were commonly used as war mounts for maneuver or ramming into enemy formations. However, some animals like monkeys are used for more unconventional means.
For example, it was claimed that during the Southern Song dynasty of China (1127-1279), while fighting against the rebels of Yanzhou Province, Song General Zhao Yu ordered his men to bind the monkeys in a straw jacket and dip them in oil. Setting them on fire, the monkeys were let loose into the enemy camp, igniting the tents and unleashing panic and chaos among the inhabitants.
In summary, the monkeys have been turned into a mobile incendiary device.
