Homebrew Apeling (From D&D Wiki) Species Details
Apelings are a fusion of human and monkey traits, the result of a failed experiment. This relation is evident in their fur, tails, fangs, and other traits. However, their intelligence, larger size, and more bipedal posture suggest some closeness to humanity. Apelings are slightly smaller than humans but are still medium. They usually have more defined muscles than monkeys, though they are still rather slender, keeping a very athletic appearance.
