The feral space-apes are extraterrestrial, 7'-tall bipeds with slick, purple hides mottled with neon green. They sport wicked claws that inject a Class 15 poison; victims suffer severe allergic reactions marked by an outbreak of green nodules, and catatonia.  Effects last for 1d8 days with a failed Saving Throw Vs Poison, or 3d6 hours with success.  Space-apes can outrun Ancient automobiles.

Space-apes hatch from 6" eggs found in rocks procured off-world, or that fall to earth on meteoroids.  The tiny, brachiating hatchlings promptly enlarge to 2'-tall, and are frighteningly spry with AC 2, HD 3, Movement 210' (70'), Damage 1d6 / 1d6 / 1d4, and a diminished toxicity of Poison Class 8.  They reach adulthood in a mere 24 hours.

Interestingly, adult space-apes suffer from vertigo, and avoid heights (any altitudes 20' above ground) at all possible.
