Gubal
Vibrant and charming, vicious and volatile, inspiring and proud. Much has been said about my people. I leave it up to you dear reader, to determine what your truth is.The Gubal are a sapient species native to southern Givzie. Apes and monkeys with poisonous arcane abilities. Aside from larger skulls and smaller scleras, they are almost indistinguishable from their ancestors. Their appearance varies and can resemble spider monkeys, barbary macaques, or gorillas for example, but they lack the prehensile tails of monkeys. The Gubal are the dominant species and founders of Givziean Empire, and much of their higher military ranks and scouting squads consists of Gubal. They can be found all around the world, thanks to the influence of the empire.
