The Eekahs are an intelligent race of humanoids descendant from chimpanzees which evolved in a future in which humanity has been annihilated by nuclear warfare ten million years before the emergence of Eekahs.
Overview[]
The Eekahs are hair-covered humanoids, considerably smaller and more frail than the American Gurrows, which are descendant from bears. As primates, their social structure is also different from that of the Gurrows and a lot closer to that of the long-extinct Humans. Unlike Gurrows, the Eekahs have developed aircraft and advanced military weaponry.
