Homebrew Apeling Species Details

Forest Guardians

Apelings tend to stay in tight communities, wary and distrustful of outsiders to both their clans and their forests, for which they believe they are the rightful keepers and protectors.

Connected to Nature

Although they have ascended to civilization, Apelings have not forgotten their history, and do not take kindly to those who would treat animals as property or cause them undue harm. Though they are hunters themselves, they take from the wilds only what they need, and use all of what they take.

Apeling Names

Apelings have a language-learning capacity not shared by their wild brethren, however they are able to communicate well with them using the simple calls and signals of these species. As such, most Apelings continue to use names which wild primates can reproduce.

Clans are defined by the forest or jungle which they consider their territory.

Apeling Names: Aigu, Aiya, Gruu, Huff, Roo, Wooga
