The Monkey-Man[edit]

Personality[edit]

Of all the ani-men, monkey-men are probably the most good-natured. They enjoy a good party with friends and care little for violence. They enjoy the company of others, and they take particular enjoyment in impersenations and charades. Though not big of body, monkey-men are big of heart.

Physical Description[edit]

Monkey-men average about 3 and a half feet tall and normally weigh around 50 pounds. The women are not so different, though they do have longer hair. Monkey-men have small noses and hand-shaped feet, as well as a prehensible tail that comes in handy for movement.

Monkey-men live longer than humans. They reach adulthood at age 15, but they rarely live more than 140 years.

Relations[edit]

Monkey-men endear themselves quite well to several races. Outside of humans, monkey-men bond very well with halflings, seeing a race with much in common. They also enjoy the company of gnomes and elves. Though they rarely associate with dwarves, they both enjoy each other's company.

Alignment[edit]

Monkey-men do not like violence, but they will spill blood if it means the survival of the innocent, so monkey-men are often good. They look at the law with a sort of indifference, but if they do go one way or the other, chaotic is more likely.

Lands[edit]

Monkey-men have no lands of their own, but they are often found in churches. Many monkey-men feel the call of the priesthood, so those who enter a church will likely find a monkey-man in prayer.

Religion[edit]

Monkey-men are probably as religious as the lion-men, but they do not approach it with their zealotry. Monkey-men hold onto their beliefs strongly, but they are much more flexible and tolerant than the lion-men. Monkey-men most often follow Pelor, the god of the sun, but some of them also worship Heironeous, Kord, or Ehlonna.

Language[edit]

All monkey-men speak Common, but they often do not learn another language. If they do learn another, it is usually the language of a neighboring race.

Names[edit]

Monkey-men take only human names.
