Embracer: 1.9 m tall, about the proportions of a mountain gorilla.
Physically, it is hairless, noseless, with protruding fangs from its
mouth and a pair of short horns on its head. The skin is metallic red in
color, and its sweat is slightly acidic and has a distinct odor. It is a
diurnal animal.
Enjoys heat and prefers to lair near volcanos. Omnivorous and constantly
hungry (though meat makes 90% of its diet), it is able to pull down swift
species such as birds or deer as if it could slow them down somehow. It
is a solitary animal. If confronted, it will use a gorilla-like threat
display, and will calm down if the creature shows submission by crouching
and averting its eyes. Otherwise, it attacks. Its preferred method of
attack is to grab its prey and squeeze the prey to death by suffocation,
in addition to damage from the acidity of its sweat.

Munchkin: 0.9 m tall, covered in fur. It has strong limbs and a mouth
full of carnivorous teeth. Vestigal tail. Moves mostly by swinging
through trees (brachiation).
Fast-moving, solitary predators who feed on squirrels, owls, newborn
deer, etc. On rare occasions, up to 4 have been seen together. They are
reported to have a rudimentary language, using grunts and howls to
express themselves. They are tool-users, but only in a crude way similar
to wild chimps. Studies indicate that they are partially related to
spider monkeys, but other portions of their DNA is totally unknown in
origin. The creatures do not survive in captivity. (Shadowtalk hints that
they may actually have rudimentary intelligence, and may have been
genetically engineered.)

Hope that helps! I'm assuming you have their stats and powers from an
adventure or such.
