The carnivorous ape
is a larger, stronger and very aggressive relative of the gorilla.
This beast has fair
intelligence (IQ 70+) and is very cunning.
It hungers particularly
for human flesh.
Encounter:
The eyesight of the ape is keen,
as is its hearing
and sense of smell,
so it is surprised
only on a roll of 1.
Combat: If it strikes its opponent with both hands the ape does an additional 1-8 hit points of rending damage.
