A dire ape stands about 9 feet tall and weighs from 800 to 1,200 pounds.

Dire apes attack anything that enters their territory, even other dire apes. If an opponent?s armor foils a dire ape?s attacks, the creature will attempt to grapple and pin, then rend the prone opponent.
Rend (Ex): A dire ape that hits with both claw attacks latches onto the opponent?s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d6+12 class="errata" |
2d6+9
points of damage.
Skills: Dire apes have a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened.
