I posted these over at the usual place, so I might as well post them here.
Vanara
Vanara are intelligent monkeys and apes who live in temples built in the
deep of jungles or forests and like to wear fancy jewellery.
They usually have brown, tan or black fur, but 1-in-20 is born with unusual fur colors like blue, green or red.

Vanara

temple in a dense Jungle or forest. The temple will have many pit traps
shattered around, both for defense and for leaping fun. Such a temple
will attract other Vanara as well as White Apes, Gorillas, Bonobos, Orangutans, and the occasional Gigantopithecus or man-cub.
Mongrelfolk
Mongrelfolk are hideous, roughly human-shaped creatures, a patchwork of different parts taken from a variety of mammals, reptiles and vermin.
Despite their monstrous appearance, they are peaceful beings living in hidden farming villages, far away from civilization.
