Giant Ape comes from an uncharted island in the Pacific. It has normal primate instincts and abilities, but it’s 100 feet tall.

Personality/Motivation: Giant Ape has the mind and heart (figuratively) of a normal gorilla. It wants food, love, and comfort. If, however, there are other large creatures in the area, Giant Ape feels the need to show off, and he will try to intimidate or even attack the other creature.

Powers/Tactics: He’s BIG! His huge arms can reach a target 80 feet away, and with an eight-foot hand-span, there’s practically no way to avoid his grip.
