Well-Trained

The pirate gorilla is used to taking orders on board the ship. It loses its immunity to linguistic efects, including appeals to surrender.

Gorillas can be territorial creatures, particularly if provoked by hunters or the presence of more dangerous monsters. A gorilla uses its fangs and powerful arms to bite and pummel trespassers with wild abandon.

While many apes exhibit peaceful or reclusive behavior, gorillas can be territorial, and the megaprimatus is especially aggressive and dangerous.
