A shabby, intelligent ape with a reasonable grasp of English, <alt>
the dakon will never attack except in self-defence or to recover treasure stolen from it.
When it attacks it does so at +2 hit probability bonus because of its strength && sharpness of claws,
using each claw to inflict 1-10 HP of damage.

The dakon is usually a light brown colour with green eyes && black hands.
It is found in all types of locations except near large expanses of water.
It is normally on good terms with lawful humans and near-humans,
though it has a suspicion of the motives of humanoids and will not communicate with them.

<ENCOUNTER: only attacks in self-defence, or to recover stolen treasure>
