Gribbons, at first glance, resemble large monkeys with bat wings. Closer examination, however, reveals facial features of a more human than simian nature. Their bodies are covered in a coarse, brown fur, and their hands end in powerful and sharp claws. These creatures are fiercely territorial and prefer to swoop down from the treetops and assault trespassers without warning.

Though they greatly prefer forests, gribbons have been known to reside in caves and caverns, especially those higher up with outcroppings where they can perch and survey their territory. Gribbons are equally as likely to attack their opponents with weapons (preferring daggers and darts, though sometimes employing short swords) as they are with their claws. Their favorite tactic is to grab an opponent, fly above the ground and drop it.
