Changes: Gorilla Army

Latest revision as of 01:25, 22 March 2024

The Gorilla Army are minor antagonists in the DreamWorks film, Kung Fu Panda 2. They are a group of gorillas that serve as the brute strength in Lord Shen's army.

Background

Personality

As large creatures of enormous strength and size, the gorillas are naturally brutal and aggressive. However, they are just as loyal to Lord Shen as his wolf soldiers.^[2]

Physical Appearance

As the gorillas have little need for armor, their only clothing are armored pants and studded leather wristbands.

Fighting style

The Gorillas are familiar with kung fu and skilled with weaponry, but they rarely need either. So ferocious and intimidating, they strike such fear in opponents that a battle is often over before it begins. Impossibly strong and amazingly agile, the Gorillas are equally dexterous with both hands and feet and are extremely tough to take down.

Appearances

Kung Fu Panda 2

The Gorillas are the muscle in Lord Shen's army. If his evil schemes require any heavy lifting, they'll be the ones doing it. Shen's personal guard is made up entirely of these powerful (and powerfully large) brutes, who are honor bound to their master. Two of the gorillas assisting in moving one of Shen's cannons.

In the film, the gorillas performed various duties such as transporting Shen's cannon and guarding Shen and the Soothsayer. During the Battle of the Fireworks Factory, it was a gorilla that battled Tigress one-on-one and prevented her from reaching Po in time to save him from being shot by Shen's largest cannon.

Trivia

Unlike most of the other animal characters in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, gorillas are not native to China. The only great ape native to Asia is the orangutan, while gorillas originate from Africa.
