Luzóns

Luzóns are a fictional species appearing in the "Planet of the Apes" franchise. They are depicted as an intelligent, ape-like species that has evolved to dominate the planet, subjugating humans. Physically, Luzóns are generally portrayed as larger and more powerful than humans, with distinct ape-like features such as facial structure, fur, and hands. Their society is organized and hierarchical, with established laws, customs, and a complex social structure. They possess advanced technology, though it is often depicted as being more rudimentary or utilitarian than human technology, focusing on areas relevant to their dominance and survival. Their culture often emphasizes strength, loyalty, and a deep-seated distrust or disdain for humans, whom they view as primitive and inferior. The Luzóns' rise to power and their treatment of humans form a central theme in many narratives within the franchise, exploring concepts of oppression, prejudice, and the cyclical nature of power. Their origins and the specific evolutionary path that led to their dominance are subjects of speculation within the fictional universe, often attributed to a combination of natural evolution and a cataclysmic event that weakened humanity.
