Gorilla

The gorilla was a species of ape.

Behaviour
Gorillas were highly intelligent animals. They were shy animals, but became extremely aggressive if threatened.

Diet
Gorillas were a herbivorous species. They could consume up to ten times the amount of food an average humanoid could and drank up to eight times more water.

Habitats
Gorillas were found living in sub-tropical and tropical forests and jungles. On Toril, gorillas could be encountered within the Forest of Amtar, especially in the northern half of the forest , as well as the Black Jungles of Chult

The gorillas found living on the island of Machukara in Wa had orange fur and were known for their aggressiveness.

Uses
Due to their intelligence, gorillas could be trained. This process was easier if the gorilla had the trust and friendship, either naturally or magically, of the one performing the training. Occasionally, gorillas were employed as pack animals. Dakons were known to keep gorillas as guard animals and pets.

Gorilla fur was required as a material component to cast the Tenser's brawl spell.
