Vanara

 

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 small items up 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 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.
