The rustling of trees and a glimpse of dark shapes descending from the canopy are the prelude to many explorers' deaths. Adventurers who return from deep jungles tell of the great beasts protecting lost tribes, ruined temples, or vast stores of treasure. Apes fight viciously to defend their homes, for they have lived in jungles since the dawn of creation. Some humanoids revere them as manifestations of primal spirits; others enslave them to use as laborers and war beasts.
Although apes fight Viciously to defend their territory and families, they are not savage beasts. Apes kill because trespassers have entered ape territory or attacked creatures or sites that the apes protect. Adventurers who wish to avoid conflict with apes should keep alert when traveling through jungles, watching for signs of the beasts' passage.
Apes are typically Unranked prey and so net no reward. Though a local village may put a price on a particular ape's head.
