Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wild tamarinds are much more spicy, though -- trap them if you can.

Do the Tamarinds attack when provoked?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Okay, okay no one has to say "Just fucking Google it."
I did. So it's some pulp of a pod(?) mixed with sugar and -- garlic(?) and cayenne pepper(?).
It doesn't sound, from that description, like something yummy.

I do not believe the ones I ate had garlic or cayenne.

The Jamaican versions have no garlic and cayenne.
Just the pulp from the pod (which is very sour and sticky and is used in Asian cuisine) with sugar pressed into it.
It's dee-lightful.
I've had them with pepper (black or cayenne) and salt, and the savoury addition doesn't work for me at all.
