Bestial Human Monkey

Monkey-men are crafty, mischievous omnivores, though they prefer vegetables to meat. They can make a bite attack with their sharp teeth (SV +5/ DMG 1d8) and can be quite vicious. They are covered in a soft, coat of often multi-colored fur and can endure cold weather much better than humans, even without clothing, but prefer warmer climes.

These simians are excellent climbers (add 1d3+2 skill points in climbing), and can climb as swiftly as they can run. They possess long prehensile tails capable of gripping onto things or holding small items such as daggers and knives, and are highly alert (+1 initiative). With their bite, one fist (1d6 DMG) or hand held weapon, and whatever they carry in their tails, they are capable of three melee attacks per round. 

Bestial human monkeys have little difficulty being accepted into human communities if accompanied by humans or mutant humans, and will be viewed as amusing pets with people laughing at their antics and comical faces. Of course, it only takes a prank too far for things to turn ugly.

Bestial Human Gorilla

With their heavy fur, squat, muscular physiques, and wicked canines, bestial human gorillas cannot pass for hairy humans like humanoid chimpanzees can, and possess even more of a tendency to knuckle-walk than their pan troglodyte relatives.

Despite being more powerful and less human than chimpanzee-men, gorilla-men are quieter and less aggressive, and while omnivorous, are far more inclined to a mostly vegetarian diet too. This gentle aspect vanishes, however, when violence is needed, and humanoid gorillas are devastating in melee. They can make three attacks per round, one bite (SV +8/ DMG 1d12) and two powerful punches (SV +6/ DMG 1d12 instead of the normal human 1d6), with both accuracy and strength modifiers applied to these attacks as normal for any character or creature.
