Deugniet (Africaans for "scoundrel")

A baboon-like wesen. When woged, the face becomes elongated, and a brown mane surrounds the face. The arms and fingers become longer, and the hands and feet develop hair. The 4 canine teeth grow into huge fangs. They are very mischievous and nosy, often being a busybody. The males are very territorial to other males, sometimes fighting each other to the death if one encroaches on anothers territory. Family groups are often led by a lead male, usually the eldest or most physically fit. The females are overly dependant on their male family members to take care of them and are obsessed with personal hygiene. Before modern times, a large part of a Deugniet's diet included insects, usually picking fleas and lice of their relatives backs. Now however most Deugniet's keep their bug-eating habist a secret, mostly picking fleas off a pet when no ones looking.
