Ecology: The chemosit lives in trees, and prey on anything they can catch. They seem to consider humans delicacy and will not hesitate to attack and devour a lone human (or a small group). They will often haunt a village, taking a fresh victim each night.
Personality/Motivation: The chemosit seems to be totally inimical to humans. Other than that, they have normal animal motivations.
Powers/Tactics: Chemosit prefer to leap down on their victims from trees, grappling and then biting. If that can successfully grab someone, the chemosit will usually try to bite into the skull, trying to get at the tasty (to the chemosit) brain.
Appearance: The chemosit has a horrid appearance, combining the lower body of a hyena with the chest, arms, and head of a great ape. The claws and teeth of the chemosit are very sharp and its jaws are very strong.
Designer's Notes: The creature is taken from GURPS Fantasy Bestiary. It would make an excellent minion for an evil sorcerer. By changing the lower half of the chemosit, one could creature an appropriate monster for any other local that also has primates.
