Urscimmia List

Urscimmia


Neither 'Ursa' nor 'Primate,' but something in between, which gains them their own species.

From the Latin 'Ursus' meaning 'Bear' and the Italian 'Scimmia' meaning 'Ape.' It means 'Bear-Ape.' The pronunciation is 'Er-Sim-Ee-Ah'

Most of the Urscimmia have more bear-like qualities. They are creatures that are large and extremely strong, having the strength of both a bear and an ape, whilst also having the arboreal acrobatics of an ape as well. This makes them a force to be reckoned with, and typically something no one wishes to see. They are quick to anger and like to be by themselves, but also are quite docile and humble when they are not threatened or angered. The ones that are more apelike tend to be more friendly than the ones that are more bearlike.

Yeti Info

A bear Beastkin akin to the Grizzly donning a thick, fluffy white coat of fur, the perfect protection against the cold in the snow-covered mountain ranges where these creatures reside. They stay completely warm because their body temperatures are so high, even in the arctic winds of their homes. Now, it is a well-known fact among researchers of arctic monstrosities that the yeti possesses lungs of particular fascination, operating as they do at a temperature colder than ice, making them well-suited to the breathing of frigid air. Unique structures within the yeti's lungs cause atmospheric moisture to form icy tubes, with openings on either side which permit the flow of air. Over time, these tubular structures grow ever more intricate. The structure of their body disallows for them to exist anywhere but the coldest climates, as anywhere else, they would surely die quite slowly and painfully.

A friendly, cheerful, kindhearted race, if they see a traveler in a snowstorm about to freeze, they will quickly appear before them and embrace them with their furry bodies, almost completely taking them in and warming them up with their high temperature bodies. Even in subzero temperatures, those who hug the friendly Yeti will not feel the colds of the harsh environment. During particularly fierce snowstorms, they will invite those they find back to their dens to warm up and stay until it passes.

Many know them as the 'Abominable Snowman,' however they are not a creature to be feared. In fact, those who have not cowered at their appearance find that they are indeed one of the most loveable and gentle creatures, like a giant teddy bear. They have incredible physical strength akin to that of an ape and bear mixed together, which is what these creatures seem to be. When not scaling the Great Alps, they are swinging from tree to tree in the Hail Valley. Many travelers who pass out in the snow are saved by the Yeti, and when they are conscious, the Yeti mysteriously disappear. This is because they are quite shy to many after having years of scorn, and are unsure if their interaction will be accepted among others.

Sasquatch

Meringutan

A Gel Urscimmian that is a Creme-Type, being both an orange meringue and an orangutan, which has given it a sort of tangerine coloration with its pudding-like body. Whilst it resembles more of an ape than a bear, it is more of a Gel than a Beast, yet due to its form and nature, it is classified as an Urscimmian before being classified as a Gel. This is also due to the rarity of its being, and the rarity of Urscimmians in the first place.

They are said to like merengue, but most people feel like someone taught them that as a play on their names. No one knows for sure, but everyone likes to merengue with a Meringutan. Their bodies are made of tangerine pudding and their tufts of fur are dollops of different types of frosting.
