APE

The typical ape is found only in lonely tropical forest regions. It is non-aggressive and shy, but if threatened or cornered will fight fiercely. If it scores hits with both of its hands it does an additional 1-6 points grabbing and rending its opponent.

Environment. Temperate, faerie and sylvan settings (Gigantopithecus. forest, mountains); Tropical and near-tropical, uninhabited/wilderness areas (Ape. forest; 10% of Ape encounters will be with Dakons);

The carnivorous ape is a larger, stronger and very aggressive relative of the gorilla. This beast has fair intelligence (IQ 70+) and is very cunning. It hungers particularly for human flesh. 

The eyesight of the ape is keen, as is its hearing and sense of smell, so it is surprised only on a roll of 1.

If it strikes its opponent with both hands the ape does an additional 1-8 hit points of rending damage.

The dakon is usually a light brown colour with green eyes and black hands.

A shabby, intelligent ape with a reasonable grasp of the common tongue, the dakon will never attack except in self-defense or to recover treasure stolen from it.

 When it attacks it does so at +2 hit probability bonus because of its strength and sharpness of claws, using each claw to inflict 1-10 hit points of damage.

It is found in all types of location except near large expanses of water. It is normally on good terms with lawful humans and near-humans, though it has a suspicion of the motives of humanoids and will not communicate with them.

The banderlog are intelligent baboon-like primates which are found only in tropical or subtropical forests. They live in tribal groups. Ninety-five percent of the time the banderlog have no possessions. However, on rare occasions they will find a piece of jewelry or some other valuable item and keep it.

These baboon-like creatures typically dwell amongst palms and use coconuts or retch-plant globes (q.v.) as missile weapons. The coconuts cause 2-5 points damage and have a 30-foot range. At close quarters, they deliver biting attacks with their long canine teeth, causing 2-5 points of damage.

Banderlog are always led by one or more large males with 6-8 hit points per die. Banderlog are green-skinned with brownish fur. They have a simple language of their own.
