Primate Species

• Gorilla Bear

  Gorilla bears and other abberations are rare, but they can be found in uncivilized lands. Possibly early experiments of Elune or other deities, possibly the playthings of titans or worse, they do exist throughout Kalimdor and Azeroth.^{MoM 201}

• Monkey
• Ape

  These powerful omnivores resemble gorillas but are far more aggressive; they kill and eat anything they can catch. An adult male ape is 5-1/2 to 6 feet tall and weighs 300 to 400 pounds. Apes tear prey apart with their mighty claws. They live in warm forests.^{MGWS 3}

  • Groddoc Ape
  • Groddoc Thunderer
• Dire Ape

  Dire apes are found on Azeroth, and in the Emerald Dream.^{S&L 145} They are larger species of standard ape standing about 9 feet tall and weighs from 800 to 1,200 pounds. It is a large gorilla with silver down on its back. It has a shaggy coat that does little to hide the muscles in its frame, which bulge far more than normal muscles should.^{MG 31} They can also be summoned by druids.^{WoWRPG 345} Some druids choose them as their an animal companion.^{WOWRPG 70}. Dire apes attack anything that enters their territory, even other dire apes. If an opponent’s armor foils a dire ape’s attacks, the creature attempts to grapple and pin, then rend the prone opponent.^{MG 31}
