Kijura Escarpment 

Semuliki Hills

Lamia Swamplands

Despite having a tempting name, the Lamia Swamplands are actually just northeast of the Lamia tributary in the Semuliki subregion. These swamplands are also in East Africa’s only slice of predominantly mid-lowland rainforest far west of the Swahili coast.  

Dido’s Shelter

Dido’s tent hut is the location that Barumba rents out in the swamp during spring break. For a thing built by a cryptid ape woman, it’s a rather elaborate tent hut.

Kaanga: Characters

The characters of Kaanga 

Hero and Heroine

Kaanga (ケアンガ): Aka Hugo Kane, Kaanga is a man living in the jungle with various other animals. He was a toddler when his parents were killed by poachers, on the process of becoming adopted and raised by a family of ogre-like ape men and women. Thereafter, he is a mighty yelling chest-pounder who leaves most animals alone and who swings through trees with each one of his hands. Unlike Ki-Gor, who’s raised by human bandits, he is a green eyed strawberry blonde raised by a beast family in the rainforest. Like Hella, he is skilled at surviving in it. 

Hella: Aka Halle Mason, she is Kaanga’s girlfriend and later wife, who was abandoned by a dying expedition when she was a youth. Being a tomboy, she also likes to parkour through the trees. 

Junior: Kaänga and Hella’s adopted son. 

Kaanga’s Found Family

Koko: Kaanga’s girly she-ape sister, who happens to be a spunky engineer.
