The hozen are a monkey-like race that lives in Pandaria.[1] They are mischievous pranksters native to Pandaria that "act like a group of 14 year old boys" running around together in the jungle, equipped with machine guns and weapons from the Horde, who will recruit this tribe to help fight their war. They are also found all over Pandaria, even in one of the dungeons.[2]

Background
The Hozen are uncannily dexterous foragers and hunters who dwell in clans among treetops and mountains of Pandaria. They’re extremely short-lived (their elders are often no older than twenty) and their society lacks roots (and rules) as a result. Uncouth and impulsive, Hozen nonetheless play, live and squabble together…at least until their clans grow so large that they collapse into multiple smaller groups.
The other races of Pandaria are careful to avoid Hozen hunting grounds, as their notoriously short tempers grow even shorter when their hunger pushes entire clans, including elderly and young Hozen, to ravage food sources outside of their territory, either gathering enough food or seeing enough Hozen die in the process to ensure the survivors’ continued health.[3]
Types
There are Jungle Hozen and Mountain Hozen, the heartier kind.[2]

Wisdom
The following are notes of wisdom proclaimed by the wisest of hozen on the Wandering Isle:
- Wet fur not fun to sleep on.
- Mouth only hole that banana go in.
- Don't pull own tail when there are other tails to pull.
- Poo not good to eat, but very good to throw.
- Firecracker for throwing, banana for eating.
Notes
- Hozu (猴族, hóuzú) is Chinese for "monkey clan."
- During BlizzCon these creatures were known as the Hozu.
- 'Hozu' appears to be the singular form.
