Homebrew Gibbôn Species Details

Simians from the worldfall forest of Tyr la Nook. Gibbôns move through the canopy with ease, but their legs are shorter than their arms. The are sentient apes, not monkeys, and have no tails. Usually peaceful, the typical clan is content to groom its friends and family while lounging and eating a vegetarian diet of leaves, nuts, seeds, fruits, and lichens (though they will spend an entire day pulling termites or ants from a mound). They wear woven cords of stringy cambium and bark decorated with leaves and feathers. Beads of carved wood and the seeds/nuts of fruit pits add functional toggles and buttons to clothes and accents to their manes and ruffs.

Theyl in family groups that range from 6 to 20 individuals, usually with a single mature male (but sometimes a pair of brothers form families together in more challenging areas). The All-Papa, as he is called by his many wives and children, wears bracers made from tough woven leaves or bark that hold three claw-like blades of stone, bone, horn, actual claws, wood, or talons from a raptor on each arm. Greaves on each leg hold pairs of knapped daggers that are often made from magical crystals or obsidian.
