The Gorilloids are apes who have been turned into cyborgs by the Makers. Though programmed to be obedient, they have enough of their mind left to rebel and join Brutus. However, unable to control them, Brutus is forced to destroy them all.

Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game[]
One of the strangest types of mutants to inhabit the planet are the Gorilloids, apes artificially augmented with machine parts by the enigmatic beings known as the Makers. Most of the apes turned into Gorilloids by the Makers are Gorilla scouts who stray too close to their territory. Once modified, they are sent back out to explore the outside world and transmit their findings back to their masters.
Known Gorilloids[]
- Smashore (seemingly their leader)
- Thaddeus (seemingly a scout)
Notes[]
- The Gorilloids are exclusive to the continuity of the Planet of the Apes comic books published by Marvel Comics.
- When the Gorilloids first appeared in the Planet of the Apes Magazine, their species designation was left ambiguous. While they were apes—mostly gorillas, with the exception of Thaddeus—they no longer fully fit that category. The Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game would later classify them under the Mutant species banner.
