Homebrew Dakon Species Details

 

The following information and screen shot picture was discovered from www.greyhawkonline.com

It is a great resource from Greyhawk information, I highly recommend it.

Dakons are traders/hunters/gatherers. Males hunt on foot or atop Elephants using Spears, Javelins, Blowguns, and Clubs. Females and children forage for food and medicinal plants with armed male escorts. Dakons practice agriculture on a limited scale, preparing small plots for their individual needs. Dakons dwell in the Amedio Jungle. They build their homes in large trees but are equally able to build houses on stilts. Dakons resemble apes with light-brown fur, green eyes, and black hands. Dakons are usually Lawful Neutral. Dakons have a Tribal Society led by an alpha male (called the Ghana or Warchief). Dakons sometimes study magic, and their leaders are often Wizards. Dakons believe in a spirit world in which Fiends and their ancestors dwell. It is thought that the Dakons worship deities such as Boccob and Obad-Hai, albeit under different names. Dakon Shamans are known as Sakirs. To become a Sakir, a Dakon must wander in the jungle for a year with no shelter but the trees, communing with the gods. A few during this period discover that power can be learned from Demons, these become Witch Doctors, or Zaras. Zaras remain Hermits; most retain their alignments, but with difficulty. Some learn too quickly and become corrupted into chaos and evil. The Dakon language is largely based on hoots, grunts, finger and hand gestures, and body postures. Dakons are almost certainly decended from the D'kana, a race of intelligent Apes that controlled much of the Amedio Jungle over 2000 years ago. Their civilization seems to have been destroyed by the invading Olman, causing them to retreat and become nomadic, near civilized creatures.
