Bua-Boa

Bua-Boa, or Strong and Big in Tree-tongue, are an intelligent race of ape-like humanoids native to the Hearthplane closely related to Treefolk. Befitting their name, Bua-Boa are much larger than the average Treefolk, weighing several times as much as an adult Hano-Jin at adolescence. Bua-Boa are also much stupider than the average Hano-Jin, only able to form basic social groups and preferring brute force for problem solving. They speak a broken dialect of Tree-tongue that is largely simplistic and slower than the main tongue. Bua-Boa are often bullies towards smaller races, stealing their food and supplies, but not often hunting them down or kill indiscriminately. They are very prone to violence however, and this violence often keeps their groups from growing too big or advancing far in technology or magic. They live in tree-top colonies much like the Hano-Jin, but favor more open spaces due to their larger size.
