Gorillas are a species ofvillager in theAnimal Crossing series. They are mainly differentiated frommonkeys by their large, tailless bodies, in addition to having separately rendered jaws, a prominent brow, hands shaped like boxing gloves, buttocks (except forHans andRocket), and human-like ears. In the real world, gorillas are the largestprimate and the third-closest DNA match tohumans after the two species of chimpanzee.
There are twelve gorilla villagers, one of which is anislander, and one of which was previously an islander. Eight are male and four are female, making it a predominantly male species. Of these, three arecranky, two arelazy, two arejocks, two aresnooty, one ispeppy, one issmug, and one isbig sister.
