Common Name: Junzi

Species: Junzi dongxue

Time: Holocene

Diet: Herbivore

Temperament: Mischievous

 

Wild: Few critters are more annoying to encounter in the Sunken Forest than Junzi donxue. If a careless survivor gets too close to a troop of these pesky gibbons, they will rob the survivor of several belongings before fleeing in different directions with the stolen items. Worse still, if one is attacked the rest of the troop will gang up on the assailant. A clever survivor may be able to use Junzi's mischievousness against it. If it steals narcoberries or narcotics off the survivor's person, the gibbon will greedily consume them as it normally does with food items, eventually passing out if it consumes enough of them. The survivor may then nurse it back to health with berries, after which they will have gained a valuable pet.

 

Domesticated: Being an excellent climber, a shouldered Junzi will enable its owner to reach new heights. It is able to scale most walls and ceilings while keeping the survivor's hands free to use tools and weapons. Don't overwork this little ape, though. If it gets exhausted while climbing it will lose its grip and fall, a potentially fatal mishap for the survivor if the drop is severe. Ceasing movement while climbing will give the Junzi a chance to recuperate. Junzi is stronger in a troop. If multiple survivors set out with a gibbon on each of their shoulders, the creatures gain more endurance from each other. A pet Junzi also seems to keep wild troops at bay, preventing them from harassing and stealing from the survivor. Even other pickpocketers such as Ichthyornis and Pegomastax steer clear of Junzi. With many heights and even more dangers to overcome in the harsh world of postapocalyptic Earth, Junzi may prove to be a valuable companion.
