Duurmang

A race of large, intelligent baboon-like monkeys. Their tails are short and non-prehensile and their faces are long and filled with terrifying canines. Fortunately they eat mostly fruits. They are inquisitive and friendly (unlike savannah baboons), but extremely sensitive to environmental change and will defend their jungles at all costs. They’ve never developed much technology on their own, but quickly adapt to the technology of the people around them. They are the “Native” people of Colorai. During The Great Death, a certain type of soil fungus began to die out, as it had a lifeforce connection to the pure energy of the storm, like the Jhriska. When this soil fungus died out, it took out the ecosystem of Colorai with it, rendering most of the continent desert. Where the jungles held on, the Duurmang thrived, though some ethnicities of Duurmangs learned to adapt to savannah or even desert lifestyles.
