| Metazoic Apes This family takes the place of the modern ape family of today. Only these animals kept their tails. |
Arbrariel
This is the smallest of the Metazoic
apes. They use both hands and tail to
brachiate through the trees. Aloft they
are every bit as agile as modern
gibbons. Though these animals are
the size of house cats, they can still
swing as far as 30 feet in one bound.
The palms and tail tip are naked to
help them keep their grip. The feet are
also naked, but rarely needed except
for an occasional stroll over large
trunks.

Chortoperegrina
These are savanna apes of the
Metazoic. These animals prefer the
open grassland to closed jungles,
unlike their modern counterparts, the
chimps. They feed on grass, but also
on small creatures like insects and
small animals. They live in groups and
all look out for each other.

Monacium
The Metazoic counterpart to today's
gorillas. These are indeed still the
largest apes, about the size of an
African elephant. Yet they are still very
agile animals. The high shield on the
head is present in males and gives
protection to their neck vertebrae from
other attacking males. Though they
are giant animals, they are peaceful
vegetarians.

Castosarchus
This is the only purely carnivorous ape.
Though they are powerful animals alone,
they hunt in packs some of the largest
animals on the plains, like this
unfortunate abbergant. They cut into
prey with meat-hook claws, kept sharp as
a razor blade by their knuckle-walking
gait. They also use the sharp first claw
on the feet to rip into prey as well. They
can easily bring down prey 5 times their
size. When not hunting, they are very
quiet, peaceful animals.

Urosimia
This is a gentle ape of the savanna.
They too live in groups as do all apes.
They are mostly vegetarian, though
they will not pass up eating a nice, big
insect or snail or possibly fishing for
crayfish, shrimp or fish. These are
large animals, though not as big as
Monacium. But the size of a siberian
tiger. However, they can still fall prey to
their close kin, Castosarchus.
