Monkichi
Monkichi by Stone Gargoyle
The Monkichi, otherwise known as Monkey Spiders or Tree Crawlers, are a race of six-armed monkey people dwelling in trees. They are reclusive, preferring to live deep in the forest. They are shy around other races, though some have been known to attack and raid caravans traveling close to the forest when food is scarce.
Having fur all over their bodies, Monkichi have little need for clothing and armor, and they make do with weapons and equipment they can make from wood. Since they don't wear clothing, they are sometimes mistaken for common monkeys and attacked by other races, such as Ogres, who will eat them. As a result, Monkichi are taught from a young age to fight and are masters of combat.
