Gorilla (ゴリラ, Gorira) was an ape-like Chimera Ant Officer in Zazan's division.[1]

Appearance[]

Gorilla was a Chimera Ant with an upper torso of a four-armed gorilla, and a lower torso of a fiddler crab.

Personality[]

Like most Chimera Ants, Gorilla had a superiority complex over those he deemed weaker than him. When faced against Phinks, he allowed him a single punch without retaliation,[1] which led to his demise.[2]

Plot[]

Chimera Ant arc[]

Phinx vs Gorilla

Gorilla confronts Phinks

During the Phantom Troupe's siege against Zazan's Squad in her palace, Gorilla encounters Phinks. Gorilla mocks Phinks' punches as flimsy and goes as far as to allow one free hit on him before he kills him. Elated by this, Phinks takes the Ant's generous offer, claiming he'll finish him off with a single punch and that 15 should suffice. This statement perplexes Gorilla.[1]

Phinks then proceeds to rotate his right arm 15 times, creating an emanating potent surge of aura from his arm. Horrified by the turn of events, Gorilla futilely tries to stop Phinks, but is obliterated by his Nen ability Ripper Cyclotron. In the aftermath of the scene, Phinks states that half the number of rotations would have been enough and that he's still not good at calibrating.[2]

Abilities & Powers[]

As a Chimera Ant, he was already stronger than the average human, and being a Officer, he's presumably stronger than the soldiers below him. His four arms also allowed him to wield multiple weapons.[1]

Enhanced Durability: Gorilla's body is considerably durable, since a punch from a Nen-using Rammot[3] did not leave him with any permanent or visible injury. His exoskeleton is probably even more durable than that of normal Chimera Ants, as a Nen-enhanced punch from Phinks dealt no damage at all.

Nen[]

After being violently "initiated",[3] Gorilla learned Nen[4] since he was able to see Phinks's aura.
