> Kokok are a species of degenerate ape-men that have largely infested the distant badlands and wild frontier. They're hardly sentient, and the extent of their primitive society is a habit of setting things on fire and whacking them with their crudely whittled clubs. They have a taste for man-flesh and might makes right is the end all be all of their philosophy.

> The name Kokok comes from the empathetic grunts and tongue clicks that make up the ape-men's simple language

Everyone else are proper, civilized ape-men.

They have no concept of art, however some of their bone necklaces fetch a good price. Some nobles wearing them have made them in fashion.

>The Munokti, a race of orangutan-men, are a magocracy known for its great sloth and mastery of strange rituals in their jungle homes. Oddly enough, whenever they are threatened, the Kokok tribes seem to pounce upon their enemies...

>They have a taste for man-flesh
their clubs get bigger when they pull on them since their elders gave them good advice.

>They're hardly sentient
So they're...like robots or something?

While I assume OP confused sentient with sapient like an idiot, that'd work disturbingly well with 's implication.

>The Mgnngl. A strange race of creatures that seem like an unholy cross between a giant mushroom, and a jellyfish. Their primary mode of transportation is to float through the air, tearing apart the very skies as they do so.
>They also have an obsession with capturing other races, and taking them off to parts unknown.

It is said that only the Munakti know what the Mgnngl do with their captives, and have a tendency to offer the stupidest of their own to the Mgnngl whenever they arrive in their cities.

>the Loitel are a proud race of monkey men
>they used to govern the largest city in all of ape history known as the golden city of Apeolon
>the city was home to all ape kind until kokoks burned down the city
>this set ape kind back to the stone age while kokoks flourished

>Oddly enough, numerous Munakti of the Zidrup Clan had evacuated the city months prior. The other clans, comparatively active and benevolent, were slaughtered in droves just like the rest of the apemen of the city. The Zidrup Clan went on to grow into the modern, jungle-dwelling Munakti empire.

>this has led to a conspiracy that the munokti are allied with the kokoks
>this theory has become very popular in modern times leading to large genocide attempts on both kokoks and munokti

>The Zendrenlli. These crustacean horrors are well known from emerging from the deep ocean to stage attacks on cities, killing most things in their path, and dragging the few they decide to 'spare' into the oceans dark depths.
>They also seem to have a rather 'affable' relationship with the terrible Mgnngl.

It is said that in the deepest, most uncharted depths of the badlands, Kokoks with eyes that glow like starlight and fur as red as blood ride decayed, reanimated antelopes. The other Kokoks show veneration to these beings, and they can seemingly control the beasts with their will alone.

The Papio are a flourishing culture of apes known for their feats of civil engineering. Theirs are the ways of earth and water, from public baths to mighty aqueducts. The greatest of these brings sweet spring waters from the high mountains to a city overlooking a cliff, where the excess sprays forth in a luminous waterfall. It is rumored that they only endure because of dark deals struck with the mountain yeti.

>The Bajang are considered to be a cousin to the Munokti, being similarly of Orangutan descent - but instead of mastering magic, they opt for camouflage and jungle ambush tactics. They are isolationists, and woe be to the lost traveler who stumble upon their territory, chock-full of hidden traps.

>There are actually two common Yeti lineages, speculated to have branched off at some point in prehistory, further fragmenting over time
>The two lineages are the mountain yeti and the arctic yeti. The mountain Yeti are stronger, sturdier, but are less common across the world over. Most Mountain yeti civilizations have learned the ways of dark magic, via gifts from the "storm kings" that supposedly rule above these mountains. The storm kings are described as great mighty elephants, covered in dark wool, with tusks of gold. Wherever they step, the sound of thunder is heard. However, nobody except the Mountain yeti have claimed to see them.
>The Arctic Yeti are far more common, being located in the northern regions and even some lower areas, such as the Noappi Steppe. They are weaker but more populous, and have a bright red fur as opposed to their mountainous cousins' white. They have little knowledge of the magical ways, but have created some rather successful civilizations - despite the Noappi Yeti recently having fragmented their empire into small tribes.
