The ape is a large animal, standing upright on hind legs, using the front legs to claw and attack. Luckily, the ape is not strong enough to withstand a properly prepared player, and will succumb, often leaving a tasty meal.

More fearsome than the ape is the carnivorous ape. The monkey, though not related (game-wise) deserves a mention as well, as all three share the symbol Y.

Encyclopedia entry

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.

Aldo the gorilla had a plan. It was a good plan. It was

right. He knew it. He smacked his lips in anticipation as

he thought of it. Yes. Apes should be strong. Apes should

be masters. Apes should be proud. Apes should make the

Earth shake when they walked. Apes should _rule_ the Earth.
