Description

Gorillas are generally herbivores; it is aggressive mainly in defense of its family group. Otherwise it tends to avoid adventurers.

On a roll of 20 on a d20 with a hand strike, a gorilla grabs and rends its opponent, doing 1d6 points of grab damage automatically. Adult male gorillas stand 5 to 5½ feet tall and weigh between 250 to 350 pounds; adult females are slightly smaller, and do 1d6-1 points of damage with their bite and grab attacks.
