Homebrew Chimpanzee Species Details

The noble Chimp, a large black, grey, or brown furred ape, capable of flinging excrement and a berserker rage that will make barbarians quake. They typically live in the jungle, when out of the jungle they are susceptible to getting angry more than if they were in the jungle. Chimps have a basic society with a hierarchy based on strength and savagery, the biggest strongest chimp or the smartest chimp with the most friends is in charge and gets babes. Female chimps have their own, less violent hierarchy based on the rank of their mate and their mother. Rival chimp groups are known to go to war and will eat each other. Even though they are considered a small creature they can get up to 4' 11" but are typically closer to 3' 5".
