Hadozee

They were native to the world of Yazir , a world with a temperate to warm climate. Early in their evolutionary history, the ancestors of the hadozee were mammalian tree-dwelling creatures about the size of housecats who'd evolved wing-like flaps to glide between branches. They tended to be timid and were hunted by their bigger natural predators on the ground. In one apocryphal story, a wizard commanding a small fleet of Spelljammer ships arrived at Yazir and ordered their apprentices to capture dozens of the hadozees' animal ancestors in magical traps. Aboard the ships, the wizard dosed them with an experimental elixir that caused them to grow larger, stand upright, and even become self-aware, but it also heightening their fight-or-flight reflex. The wizard's twisted aim was to develop an army of engineered warriors, and sell them as slaves. But the hadozees rebelled and slew the evil wizard, stole all the remaining elixir, and escaped back to Yazir. In these efforts, they were aided by the apprentices, who'd come to like and respect them. The hadozees used the elixir to change more of their kin, until, in a few generations, all were sentient humanoid beings. Finally, they left their world and went to space, where they remained for centuries. This was however untrue.
In any case, they later left that world and its predators, as wildspace was where they felt most at home. They travelled through space for many generations.

Physical Appearance

While their nicknames described them as apes, hadozee were taller and skinnier than apes, and some said that they looked more like baboons. Hadozee were covered in fur of all varieties of brown—from light tawny to dark chocolate—and it was so thick that they really had no great need to wear clothing. Their faces were surrounded by a shaggy mane. A hadozee's snout protruded outwards from its face, and had a mouth full of small but sharp teeth and a some long fangs. Their eyes were black and tended to sparkle.
Hadozee had no tails. Their feet were fully prehensile, complete with opposable thumbs, allowing them to hold onto things with both hands and feet. The most distinctive physical feature of the hadozee were their patagial wing flaps, much like a bat or flying squirrel. This membrane of skin hung loosely between the arms and legs, from wrists to ankles. When hadozee raised their arms, the membrane stretched taut.
Hadozee had a moderately stooped posture, so it was not obvious that they stood about 5.5 to 6 feet tall when fully upright. Some could even reach 7 feet ( in full, outstretched height. Muscularly built, they usually weighed roughly 200 to 250 pounds.

Culture

Having an inherent love of travel and exploration, hadozee were eager to see the world by sailing over the horizon. For them, a life well lived was one in which they'd seen and experienced all that they could. A few hadozee focused this drive on specific goals, such as journeying to uncover magical secrets, the lore of fallen empires, or just hidden pirate treasure. A hadozee adventurer was not too different from a regular hadozee. While many hadozee felt called to the sea at some time in their lives, those who journeyed inland were considered a little odd by other hadozee but no more than that—"to each their own" was a hadozee saying.
