Gorilla Army

The Gorillas are a race of Mobians known to inhabit the Mobian Jungle, where they lived peacefully for many years. However, Dr. Robotnik's attacks on their homeland forced the Gorillas to become warlike, transforming their village into an armed camp. As a result of the change in their nature, they greeted Sonic the Hedgehog and Rotor of the Knothole Freedom Fighters with suspicion upon their arrival in the jungle. Both were held prisoner, and Rotor was to be forced to cook and create weapons for the hostile group. Sonic attempted to trick them by offering them a cache of weapons and then stealing from their own warehouse, but his ruse was discovered. Later, the Gorillas were left terrified by the approach of Robotnik's Eco-Destroyer, though many had been knocked out by a stew Rotor had filled with Narcolyptus Berries. Fortunately, the Knothole Freedom Fighters-with help from their prehistoric friend Mobie-were able to defeat Robotnik's machine, thus establishing peace between them and the Gorillas. (StH: #45)

 * Apart from the Gorillas found in the Mobian Jungle, three others have been encountered by Sonic and his allies: Sergeant Simian, Knuckles the Echidna's childhood tormentor Monk, and the former bouncer of the Bottom of the Barrel Bar 'n' Grill. It is unknown whether these three are also from the Mobian Jungle.
