Tree People from Ka-Zar Vol 4 5 001

The Botor or Tree People were humanoid beings with monkey-like traits that lived in the region of Botor located in Pangea in the Savage Land. They are one of the various Beast-Men races created by the ancient Atlanteans that inhabit various parts of the Savage Land. The Tree People live in Pangea in a village called Botor, which is based in the trees. The Tree People are a society of hunter-gatherers with agile prehensile tails. They, like all the Beast-Men, were created using the Nuwali's left behind technology.

History
