Gorillos High

Gorillos — Kenshi Creatures reference image

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.

Wanderer's Note

“A garru pack animal carries the loot you would otherwise leave in the sand.”
