General Description and Biology
These are Sentient Simians, taking after a variety of monkeys or apes in appearance. They seem to have a range of types from baboons to chimpanzees, to gorillas, and everything in between. Some are fully hair like their simian counterparts, while others do have more human skin with just ears and a tail. This difference may be due to the purity of their lineage, but it is unknown really what causes the variety in their appearance. They all have the Simian type feet with long prehensile toes made for gripping. Many are as dexterous with their feet as they are with their hands. Depending on their variety, they may have a prehensile tail or not. Like their animal simian cousins, they are quite strong, made for climbing. Their diets, like humans are omnivorous, but some tend to a more fruitarian diet. They resemble different types of apes or monkeys depending on the environment they are from. They take after the coloring of their area. Sand tasellu tend to be tans and light browns, Snow test to pale whites, Stone tasellu are grey but it depends on the range they hail from. Jungle and Forest Tasellu tend to be brightly colored like their environment with caramel colored skin.
Basic Personality
They tend to be jovial and friendly, but wary of strangers.
Origin and Lore
From the spotting of a camouflage colored man coated in fur that stood seven feet tall in the yarrocki, to a tiny white furred, pink faced kid in the snows of Elzeothis. The tasellu have long been said to be the myths of drunken tales from travellers of all kinds. Those humanoid simian hybrids have long since adapted to the climates they inhabit to avoid detection from many. Every so often one is spotted out of their element, though such encounters had long been classified as myth or those from the human tribes of Tirradyn.
Naming Conventions
Varies. They tend to have a given name and a family or tribe name though.
Preferred Habitat
Depends on their simian type, but varies greatly.
Society Structure
They are a wary nomadic people who have formed tribal groups. There is a known settlement- Kerbouchard, where some have settled in a communal group.
