Here's a racial workup that I did some time ago, finally got around to finishing it up. There's supposed to be a phanaton coming out in Dragon soon- it will be interesting to see how they compare.

Phanaton

Phanatons have long inhabited the Savage Coast and other areas, but only within the last few centuries have they achieved any measure of civilization- gathering into tribes, using tools, and so forth. The phanatons of Jibaru have formed a tribal confederation, developed religion and art, started using tools, and made initial steps toward a system of laws.

Personality: These spiritual folk have a great love of nature. Though normally peaceful, they strive to protect their forest homes and can fight well when pressed.

Phanatons lead a relatively harsh existence, so they tend to be rather serious. Still, they take joy from life; not jokers or boisterous carousers, they have a quiet sense of humor. Phanatons are cautious and not prone to panic, nor are they easily awed by shows of power.

Phanatons are settled hunter-gatherers. They live in small tribal villages, groups of family huts on platforms high in the trees. Each village has a chief who meets periodically with other chiefs to discuss policy. Because the village of Itucu‡ is the oldest and largest in the land of Jibar

Interesting. I have a Pirate adventure going that might take them to the Isle of Dread. If they get around to it, I'll try this write-up out.

In the letters column in Dungeon #118, it is stated that "[t]he phanaton and rakasta will appear in the next year, either here on in Dragon..."
