Vanara

Vanaras are a race of monkeylike humanoids, possessing brave hearts and inquisitive minds. Vanaras are often viewed with amusement or even exasperation by members of other races, who find their personalities childish and irritating.  They are curious in the extreme, frequently badgering people with questions (sometimes very personal questions), picking up small items to examine them, opening doors to see where they lead, and generally exploring places where the human sense of propriety and order would demand they not go.  They also tend to be bluntly honest, never couching a negative opinion in gentle terms, or hiding their true feelings about anything. At the same time, they are incredibly loyal, quite brave when the situation requires it, and genuinely kind.

Vanaras are slightly shorter than humans, standing at 4 1/2  to 5 1/2 feet tall and are typically weighing 90 to 140 pounds.  Their bodies are covered with light fur, ranging from white through light blue to brown  and black.  Their faces are distinctly monkeylike, with protruding muzzles, furred cheeks, and wide, lipless mouths.  They have long, semi prehensile tails, long fingers and ties, and large ears, but their arms, legs, and torsos are proportioned like those of a humans.
