This article is about a species of ape. For a species of freshwater fish, see Silverback.

The gorilla was a species of ape.^[2]

Behaviour[]

Gorillas were highly intelligent animals.^[3] They were shy animals, but became extremely aggressive if threatened.^[2]

Ecology[]

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.^[3]

Habitats[]

Gorillas were found living in sub-tropical and tropical forests and jungles.^[3] On Toril, gorillas could be encountered within the Forest of Amtar^[4], especially in the northern half of the forest^[5], as well as the Black Jungles of Chult^[6]

The gorillas found living on the island of Machukara in Wa had orange fur and were known for their aggressiveness.^[7]

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.^[3] Dakons were known to keep gorillas as guard animals and pets.^[8]

Gorilla fur was required as a material component to cast the Tenser's brawl spell.^[9]
