Vanaras are simian humanoids living deep in forests and jungles. They are covered with fur, their intricate hairstyles are an important social aspect. The dexterity they possess is rarely matched as they can use their feet equally well as their hands.
As a race, their curiosity knows no limits, and the love for pranking usually prevents them from making friends as easily as they might want to. They do possess certain inborn wisdom so it’s not surprising to see their leaders are often holy people.
While many Vanaras flock to larger cities to serve in the armies that will reclaim their lost lands, others find private adventuring life more alluring, which in turn allows their names to be heard of, names such as Makhesh, Laxmi, Reema, and Panchal.

These simian humanoids are more similar to humans than monkeys despite their furry nature. They are both intelligent and wise, something that is only surpassed by the neverending curiosity that is responsible for many pranks they like to perform, and this behavior makes it hard to befriend other races. Such friendships are known to exist, however, as Vanaras are also spiritual people often led by a holy person, and they all possess certain inborn wisdom that can often make them seem older than they are. Think about where the character was born, how were they raised, how did their home look like, what could be the main reason for leaving their community, and create a name worthy of both wisdom and pranks they will bring to the table.
