Orcish gorilla (SciiFii)

The orcish gorilla (Gorilla elliotensis) is a species of gorilla that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the tropical, subtropical, and temperate rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across Africa to help boost biodiversity. The orcish gorilla's mass and height is closer to humans than most gorillas, its skull is greatly malformed-looking (the "ridge" that makes gorilla heads look "pointy" is nearly nonexistent) as well as its pigmentation consisting of light gray fur and reddish-yellow eyes. The orcish gorilla is primarily a herbivore; the majority of its diet is composed of the leaves, shoots, and stems (85.8%) of 142 plant species. It also feeds on bark (6.9%), roots (3.3%), flowers (2.3%), and fruit (1.7%), as well as small invertebrates. (0.1%). The orcish gorilla are highly social animals compared with most other gorillas, with its troops consisting of over a hundred, compared to a troop of a dozen animals. Unlike the fictional gray gorillas from the 1980 science fiction novel Congo by the late Michael Crichton (and its 1995 live action film adaptation of the same name), which were the inspiration for the creation of real life orcish gorillas, the orcish gorilla is generally a peaceful species, with lead males only attacking if provoked or if their families are threatened. The conservation status of the orcish gorilla is Endangered due to some habitat loss, historic poaching, and superstitions, due to fears from people who fear that orcish gorillas are murderous monsters, similarly to the fictional gray gorillas from the Congo series. However, thanks to the conservationists, the orcish gorilla is a protected species and the conservationists are teaching superstitious people that orcish gorillas are peaceful animals like other gorillas.
