Gorillos High
A Gorillo does not need a pack. One of them, in melee, is already a problem worth respecting.
Powerful ape-like creatures that hit hard up close. Dangerous individually, not just in numbers.
Danger Level
Gorillos are strong, hard-hitting creatures that pose a real melee threat even one at a time — unusual among Kenshi's wildlife.
Behaviour & Speed
They are aggressive when provoked and powerful in close combat, capable of staggering and downing fighters quickly.
Loot
Gorillo corpses yield meat and materials, making them a worthwhile hunt for a capable squad.
Weaknesses & Counters
Gorillos commit to melee, so ranged support and a strong, well-armoured front line counter them well. Avoid letting them isolate a weak character.
