Legendary Ape (3.5e Monster)

Legendary Ape
The mighty legendary ape, leads large groups of carnivorous apes. It claims a large area of jungle as its own and protects that area from rival predators.

Although it is as intelligent as a human, a legendary ape cannot speak any languages.

Strategies and Tactics
A legendary ape will charge an enemy clawing and biting until the opponent is bloodied. When it is able to, it will let out its blood curdling roar to frighten opponents. If an opponent is shaken and posing a serious threat, it may try demoralizing the opponent to cause them to flee (the fear effects are separate and stack).

If it feels it has the advantage, a legendary ape may also try to grapple and pin an opponent. Using its superior size and brute strength, this often works favorably for the ape and provides an easy meal.

Treasure
Legendary ape claws can be fashioned into magical Dire Ape Claws. When the crafting is complete, the claws are automatically a +1 magic weapon. Legendary ape claws are valued at 3,000 gp on the open market.
