Gorillas of Azeroth — WoW Classic fauna

◆What gorillas are

Gorillas are large primates with thick dark fur and incredible physical strength. They stay in family bands led by a dominant male and aggressively defend their turf, pummeling intruders with their fists.

Azeroth's most famous gorilla is King Mukla, a rare elite leader on an island off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale. He cannot be tamed, but claiming a trophy from him is the goal of many adventurers.

◆Where gorillas live

Gorillas dwell only in warm tropical zones and are noticeably rarer than boars or wolves.

Stranglethorn hosts both common and elder specimens, while the deep Un'Goro offers the strongest gorillas for high-level hunters.

The gorilla as a hunter pet

The gorilla is a medium-endurance pet with the unique Thunderstomp ability: it deals area damage, striking every enemy around it. That makes it invaluable when farming packs and swarms of mobs where holding several targets matters.

In a one-on-one fight the gorilla trails the cat in raw damage, but its value is group control. Farming hunters often keep a gorilla as a second pet just for mass pulls. For leatherworkers gorillas yield high-level thick leather.

◆Gorillas on the WowX5 x5 server
