Giant gorillas

Physical Description

They resemble large gorillas with strong, aesthetic bodies. They also tend to have longer limbs, such as arms and legs.

History

An ancient race of gorillas that evolved on a remote island, which was extremely dangerous and blessed with powerful magic. The fruits of this region were infused with this magic, and somehow, the magic that remained in the primates' bodies granted them intelligence, self-awareness, and superior strength, allowing them to dominate the island's food chain. However, climate changes that froze a section of the sea forced the primate population to leave the island through this frozen path.

Society

In ancient times, they lived in a large tribe on their home island, but after the events that forced their immigration, they became nomads who travel from place to place to survive.
