Deoxys V1

The *Deoxysopithecus* or **deoxys-apes** are any species of lesser apes related to gibbons that originally did not exist, but have been created in SciiFii's early days due to a freaky mutation causing the apes to be red and blue in color rather than natural colors. The deoxys-apes have since escaped from zoos/safari parks throughout the world due to their intelligence almost as smart as humans (though not quite sapient), smarter than the smartest natural modern apes, the chimpanzees and banobos, allowing deoxys-apes to establish flourishing breeding populations throughout Eurasia, Africa, North America, and South America. Currently, there are four species of deoxys-apes throughout the world, with some more widespread than others.

## Common Deoxys

   The **common deoxys** (*Deoxysopithecus communis*) is a species of deoxys-ape and is the most widespread of its genus, hence its common name, being found throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across North America, South America, Eurasia, and Africa. The common deoxys can grow to be about the size of a large orangutan, making it large for a lesser ape. It is highly omnivorous and feeds primarily on seeds, nuts, roots, tubers, fruits, leaves, insects, carrion, and smaller animals. It is mostly a solitary animal that spends most of its life alone except during mating seasons or if its a mother that usually gives birth and takes care of around 2-4 young. The common deoxys is a rather docile animal towards other species, unlike most other deoxys-ape species, which are usually aggressive, and usually either escapes from its potential predators by running (in a manner similar to Australopithecines) or by climbing/swinging (in a manner similar to gibbons). The conservation status of the common deoxys is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the common deoxys' wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, allowing it to flourish and adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.

## Crested Deoxys

   The **crested deoxys** (*Deoxysopithecus horridus*) is a species of deoxys-ape found throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands of North America and Asia. It is slightly taller than the common deoxys, with its height about the size of a subadult human (*Homo sapiens*). It is the most carnivorous of the deoxys-apes, feeding primarily on insects, carrion, and smaller animals, although it can also feed on fruits and leaves. It is a solitary animal in most of its life except during mating seasons or if its a mother that usually gives birth and takes care of around 1-3 young. The crested deoxys is the most aggressive of the deoxys-apes, being rather aggressive towards any animal except its own kind, humans, or domestic animals. The conservation status of the common deoxys is **Least Concern** due to successful conservation efforts, the common deoxys' wide range, and its tolerance to most of human activities, allowing it to flourish and adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.

## Greater Deoxys

   The **greater deoxys** (*Deoxysopithecus major*) is a species of deoxys-ape found throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands throughout Europe and Africa. It is the largest of the deoxys-apes, growing even larger than other deoxys-ape species and is about the size of the largest known female gorilla. It is also the most herbivorous of the deoxys-apes, feeding primarily on fruits, leaves, nuts, seeds, roots, tubers, and barks, although they can feed on insects and carrion at times of hardship. The greater deoxys is about as docile as a gorilla, usually only defending itself if it feels threatened. It is also the only known deoxys-ape that is truly a socialable animal, living in troops in a manner similar to gorillas. It is also mostly arboreal compared with most other deoxys-apes, spending half of its life in the trees and half of its other life on the ground. The conservation status of the common deoxys is **Vulnerable** due to habitat loss and some poaching, however, the conservationists are working their best to protect this species of deoxys-ape from going extinct.

## Gray-Chested Deoxys

    The **gray-chested deoxys** (*Deoxysopithecus cinepectrus*) is a species of deoxys-ape found throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands throughout Africa. It is the smallest of the deoxys-apes, being slightly smaller in size than the common deoxys when fully grown. It is an omnivore that primarily feeds on fruits, leaves, roots, tubers, and seeds. The gray-chested deoxys is a solitary animal in most of its life except during mating seasons or if its a mother that usually gives birth and takes care of around 1-3 young. It is about as aggressive as a rhesus macaque to most other animals except humans or domestic animals. The conservation status of the gray-chested deoxys is **Near Threatened** due to habitat loss and some poaching, however, the conservationists are working their best to protect this species of deoxys-ape from going extinct.
