 The most highly evolved of all the primates, as shown by all their anatomical characters and particularly the development of the brain.  Both arboreal and terrestrial, the apes have the forelimbs much better developed than the hind limbs.  Tail entirely absent.  Growth is slow and sexual maturity reached at quite an advanced age.

-The '''carnivorous ape''' is the more ferocious cousin of the [[ape]].  While this creature moves as slowly as his lesser counterpart, it has the ability to grab and hold a player, crushing him or her to [[Death (character)|death]].  Thus, while a player may be able to fend off the beast under most situations, being limited to the confines of its grasp has led to the downfall of many promising adventurers.
