Lemurfolk

These small, intelligent, squirrel-like humanoids live in secret primitive societies deep in the jungles of the world. They are omnivorous, subsisting on fruits, roots, insects, larvae, eggs stolen from treetop nests, and birds and small mammals they bring down with their blowguns. They craft most of what they need from available materials in the deep jungle but sometimes barter with more advanced creatures for metal and crafted items. Lemurfolk are nocturnal but can function normally during daytime hours. They can live 80 years, their fur graying with age. Lemurfolk stand about three feet tall and weigh about 35 lbs.

Lemurfolk tribes are a varied and rather pompous lot, and they are present in many jungles. They are often notorious pirates, bandits, and nuisances to other races. They believe themselves to be divinely ordained to bring “merriment and honey” to the downtrodden, and they steal gold and jewels whenever the opportunity presents itself.

However, their thievery comes with gifts, as well— they provide honeycomb and fruits and nuts in exchange and thus they claim that they are “purchasing” the gold or precious stones that they take. Simpler or more primitive people are often happy to see the lemurfolk bring their goods or offerings. More advanced cultures typically find them unamusing, and they sometimes offer bounties for lemurfolk hides or tails.
