Girallons are large ape-like creatures found in jungles in Africa. They are similar in build to gorillas except for two key points, they have two smaller arms & hands on their torsos, and bluish grey fur. They are strong, and prefer to hunt meat. Each Girallon is part of a band of such creatures, with the oldest leading the rest, and usually made up of extended families. They have a series of vocalisations & body language that allows them to communicate. Sometimes they can be bribed with food, and act as temporary guides or guards, though sooner or later will likely turn on others.

Suggested Environments
