Hadozee, deck apes

The Hadozee, also colloquially called "deck apes", are simian humanoids with a membrane of skin between their arms and legs that allows them to glide. Hadozee originate from lands of lush jungles, and have a deep respect for nature and it's beauties. However they love traveling and visiting ever more exotic locations. Hadozee now inhabit many far reaches as they frequently serve as mercenary crew members for ship and naval fleets.

Hadozee generally wear minimal or no clothing (except in cold weather), as most clothing would interfere with their gliding membranes. They wear special caftans with slit sides on ceremonial occasions, or when in an unfamiliar port.

Foulmouthed crewmen

Despite being friendly and hard working, hadozee are rude, and foulmouthed. A hadozee can utter a continuous stream of insults and derision, with tongues sharp enough to make the most seasoned sailor take notice. For the hadozee this rudeness is a way to express camaraderie. So much that they also invariably give blunt nicknames to everyone they interact with, and will only use proper names and rank when there is a serious problem, or they are dead serious about a topic.

Hadozee Names

Hadozee have a proper name, and clan name, but they rarely use it. Instead they pick a moniker that their crew has given them, and "wear" it with pride as their trademark.
