[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5694566, member: 1210"] A new conversion, rather than a revised one: the dakon. Originally from the 1e Fiend Folio, I've flavored these guys for my campaign; my interpretation of them includes Gorilla City-style hidden communities and a taste for elf (most ape creatures in my campaign tend to have a taste for elf for some reason- hi there hadozee!) [B][SIZE=5]DAKON[/SIZE] Source:[/B] 1e Fiend Folio. A dakon is an intelligent, civilized ape from the Feywild. Typically shy and inoffensive, when aroused to anger a community of dakons is very dangerous. Dwelling deep in the jungles and forests of the Feywild, these creatures are surprisingly numerous but rarely encountered. [B]Hidden Communities:[/B] Dakon cities often include thousands of these creatures, with domesticated animals, agricultural areas, fantastic temples and incredible buildings. However, these communities are hidden in thick fey jungles and concealed from outsiders by a combination of woodcraft and magic. [B]Dangerous Appetites:[/B] One of the few things that creates problems between dakons and other races is their appetite for elf (or eladrin) flesh. To these apes, there is no delicacy more tempting, no flavor more enticing, no meat more delicious than elf. While many dakons refuse to eat elf because of moral qualms, many others poach elf when the opportunity arises. [B]Domesticated Animals:[/B] Dakon communities often have allies in the form of fey beasts that they use as pets or for meat. Some dakon communities include displacer beast packs that coexist with them; others have communities of blink dogs, drakes or others.
