@ "Millions of years ago, there wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting
the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a
were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province,
"notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase."
The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins,
halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the
said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to
take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other
penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may
judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following
year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who
ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little
children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears,
had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French
pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from
eating infants on a fast day.

 |     an apeThe most highly evolved of all the primates, as shown by
all their anatomical characters and particularly the
development of the brain.  Both arboreal and terrestrial,
the apes have the forelimbs much better developed than
the hind limbs.  Tail entirely absent.  Growth is slow
and sexual maturity reached at quite an advanced age.
[ A Field Guide to the Larger Mammals of Africa by Dorst ]

Aldo the gorilla had a plan.  It was a good plan.  It was
right.  He knew it.  He smacked his lips in anticipation as
he thought of it.  Yes.  Apes should be strong.  Apes should
be masters.  Apes should be proud.  Apes should make the
Earth shake when they walked.  Apes should _rule_ the Earth.

But you can always play as CavemanNow it was light enough to leave. Moon-Watcher picked up
the shriveled corpse and dragged it after him as he bent
under the low overhang of the cave. Once outside, he
threw the body over his shoulder and stood upright - the
only animal in all this world able to do so.
Among his kind, Moon-Watcher was almost a giant. He was
nearly five feet high, and though badly undernourished
weighed over a hundred pounds. His hairy, muscular body
was halfway between ape and man, but his head was already
much nearer to man than ape. The forehead was low, and
there were ridges over the eye sockets, yet he unmistakably
held in his genes the promise of humanity.

I would claim that soldierThe soldiers of Yendor are well-trained in the art of war,
many trained by the Wizard himself. Some say the soldiers
are explorers who were unfortunate enough to be captured,
and put under the Wizard's spell. Those who have survived
encounters with soldiers say they travel together in platoons,
and are fierce fighters. Because of the load of their combat
gear, however, one can usually run away from them, and doing
so is considered a wise thing.
