Methuns

Methuns are a fictional species from the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. They first appeared in the supplement module "The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan" for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Methuns are described as being ape-like humanoids with leathery skin and a tendency to dwell in tropical forests and jungles. They are known for their strength and agility, often depicted as tribal hunters and warriors. Their society is generally portrayed as primitive and territorial, with a strong emphasis on survival and the protection of their homeland. While not a commonly encountered monster in many campaigns, they serve as an example of the diverse and often dangerous fauna found within the D&D multiverse. Their appearance and behavior are often influenced by the specific environment they inhabit, making them adaptable to various jungle settings. Some interpretations suggest they may have a rudimentary form of communication through grunts and gestures, while others envision them as more intelligent creatures capable of basic tool use. The exact lore and statistics for Methuns can vary depending on the edition of Dungeons & Dragons, but their core identity as a jungle-dwelling ape-like creature remains consistent.
