	Because [[Pathfinder]] loves to add obscure mythical creatures and cryptids to its game, Orang-pendeks are also a race native to [[Golarion]]. Primitive yet peaceful, they debuted in Bestiary 5, and are a branch of the [[sasquatch]] family tree native to cloud forests - high mountain tropical rainforests. There, they pursue a peaceful ~~exixstence~~ as hunter-gatherers, feeding predominantly through foraging but sometimes hunting with spears, clubs and bolas. They luster together into seminomadic tribes, hunting and gathering in a region until food and game becomes scarce, then moving on to the next area. Many tribes follow a regional pattern to this migration, allowing parts of the jungle to repopulate and gathering only enough substance so as not to disrupt the land’s ability to recoup the losses. They are known to train the indigenous apes of their territories to serve as hunting and guard-beasts, and whilst this may sound silly, look up reports on chimpanzee hunting troops.

The '''Orang-Pendek''' is a cryptid from the Southeast Asian land of Sumatra; [[Frazetta Man|neither human nor ape but somewhere in-between, a furry ape-like figure that yet walks like a man and whose face bears an eerily human semblance]].
