And more text. Descriptions left general enough that they should be adaptable to other systems if anyone wants to actually use this.
The Great Red Ape tribe: The Great Red Ape is omnivorous and highly territorial, regarding any other apes, including humans, intruding on their central territory as a threat to be eliminated. On the fringe of their territory, non-Red Apes will be tolerated if they do not commit any provocative acts, though they may still be “warned” with threat displays that include chest thumping, ground beating, tree shaking, howling, and growling. The Great Red Ape is protected by a thick hide and attacks with powerful arms and a strong bite.
Great Red Apes can use simple weapons and most often will pick up a bone or branch suitable for use as a club. They may also pick up and use simple weapons. While they benefit from an edge, they do not grasp delivering point, so thrusting weapons are of no use to them. While they do not have treasure as such, victims of the tribe may have left valuables behind.
The tribe that lives above the Hidden Temple of the Purple Master is composed of seven regular males, nine somewhat smaller females, an especially large male, and six young apes. While the apes generally prefer to dwell on the surface, if there is a presence which frightens them, the females and young will descend into the Hidden Temple for greater shelter. If faced with foes who are taking advantage of ranged weapons or other forces, such as a ravaging storm, which cannot readily be met with fang and claw, the male apes will also descend, setting ambushes for those who dare further intrude.
While the apes have not located any secret doors, they are otherwise familiar with the temple. While lacking human intelligence, they possess a certain cunning, and they will use the environment to their advantage.
