In my mind, the gauntlet was Shikari technology that allowed Drykos to mentally direct the baylocs en masse. Even without it, though, he’s been Jane Goodall-ing with the bloodthirsty simians for a while, and has a bond with them. They still dig him, but he can’t get inside their heads and make them do stuff anymore.
Why do I get the idea that Drykos doesn’t know about those two “flying apes” behind him? [Evil Grin]
Oh, he knows. Those are his pals Wuli and Buli. 🙂
If his control gadget was destroyed, how long are they going to be his “pals”? [Grin]

Ah, that makes sense. And of course, having the baylocs turn on him would make things too easy for our heroes. [Smile]
