Vanara

Name:  Vanara
Notes:  While not as old a species as the Fenghuang or Draconians, the Vanara are more a 'middle' species like the Mulians.  A primarily primate species, like humans, the Vanara prefer to not flaunt their technologies and usually lived without the utilization of it at all.  Though this meant they lived without at least an equivilant level of late 20th to early 21st century Terran technology level in their general, civilian population, they were capable of fielding FTL capable starships that, while not the most dangerous in a firefight or most effiecient at studying things, were still very potent as ships that could operate independantly and self-sufficiently.
Culturally, the Vanara have a society approximating a blend of several of Terra's Native American cultures.  Though this is similar to that of the Lycanthropes, the 'blend' is distinct enough to seperate the two from each other.  Though, like the Lycanthropes, their traditional fashion tends to consist of handmade, simplistic clothing - though some more 'less traditonal' members of the species, namely amoung the younger population, have started to adopt less traditional cultural values and wear clothing that reflects this.
Unfortunately, due to their preference to not utilize their modern hardwares in their daily lives, the Vanara were unable to truely defend themselves against Holy Terran Empire aggressions.  As such, unlike the Mulians who had allied themselves with the Fenghuang, the Vanara were rapidly conquered and consumed by Terran forces.
Free born and liberated Vanara living in the Zodiac Empire live in a variety of means.  Like the Usagi, they are quite adaptable in civilian or military careers, though, like the majority of Lycanthropes, they have a heavy preference for their old lives and either populate city ships or, like the majority of Jakkai, in isolated population centers rarely visited by outsiders.
Those left in Aku's Holy Terran Empire and Terran Loyalist territory are seen as exotic 'prize slaves' and are rarely seen in public access collections.
