Description
Vanara are monkey-faced humanoids, around the same size as humans. They have brown fur, are quite social, and are excellent climbers. They can live in small villages, or bustling towns and cities, but seldom alone. Vanara are omnivorous: their diet consists mostly of fruit and plants, particularly mango and rice, but they also hunt and eat small deer, snakes, or other wild creatures.
Comments
Vanara are curious, social, and generally friendly. They will only attack if their young are threatened. Their economy is based on barter, swapping, and gifts. Vanara are fearless, and those few who take to the military can become extremely capable.
Abilities
Vanara have no special talents or skills, except their insatiable curiosity, and an associated creativity in getting out of scrapes. They are quite intelligent, are good at learning, creating, and inventing, and have a strong tradition of philosophy, poetry, and mathematics. However, they have little sense of time, ownership, or money, and thus their economy is extremely laissez-faire. They have a wide range of mages, most of whom are generalists.
