Primates are beasts found in various tropical areas of Azeroth, mainly Stranglethorn Vale, Feralas, Un'Goro Crater, the Lost Isles, the Jade Forest, and Zuldazar.
Both monkeys[1] and gorillas[2][3] are considered primates. The hozen of Pandaria are also called monkeys,[4][5] making them primates as well.
Gorillas are also classified as apes.[3][6][7][8]
Primate species
In the RPG
Druids are able to summon several species of primates as nature's allies.[9]
Species
Ape
- These powerful omnivores resemble gorillas but are far more aggressive; they kill and eat anything they can catch. An adult male ape is 5-1/2 to 6 feet tall and weighs 300 to 400 pounds. Apes tear prey apart with their mighty claws. They live in warm forests.[10]
- Dire ape
- Dire apes are found on Azeroth and in the Emerald Dream.[11] They are larger species of standard ape standing about 9 feet tall and weighs from 800 to 1,200 pounds. It is a large gorilla with silver down on its back. It has a shaggy coat that does little to hide the muscles in its frame, which bulge far more than normal muscles should.[12] They can also be summoned by druids.[9] Some druids choose them as their an animal companion.[13] Dire apes attack anything that enters their territory, even other dire apes. If an opponent’s armor foils a dire ape’s attacks, the creature attempts to grapple and pin, then rend the prone opponent.[12]
