Palm-Scallywags
Palm-Scallywags: very dangerous, medium-sized scallywags found in palm forests and, as far as anyone can tell, nowhere else.
They travel in groups of 6 and never operate alone. Cleverness is rated 4 out of 10, but speed and agility are both 7 out of 10, with a maximum jump distance of 16 feet. Their special powers are camouflage, which makes them very stealthy in thick vegetation, and jumping.
They fear almost nothing. The exceptions are Blue-Eyed Monsters and coconuts falling on their heads.
On Norma Island they answered to Petunia Trundle-Humple. They also turn up in the manuals, deployed in Move #4,766 (Subterranean Recapture) and, less helpfully, in Move #7,083 (No Idea What This Is).

extraction note The police arrived in triplocopters to deal with the Palm-Scallywags situation; triplocopter used by police not Palm-Scallywags. Skipping this relationship as the connection is police use, not scallywag use.
