Grand Singe de Sang
Blood Ape
Monster, Altar Of Despair
I - Rules
Found in the densest jungles in the most forgotten corners of the world, blood apes can be differentiated from their gentler cousins by their savage disposition, extraordinary leaping ability, and their taste for human flesh. The most fearsome blood apes are called "Crimsonbacks", due to the red stripe of fur that grows down their backs. Crimsonbacks fly into a savage fury when wounded, so it is best to defeat them quickly when confronted by them.

II - Tactics
Heroes should beware Blood Apes as they have a good armor rating and lot of wounds. In small dungeons or corridors, their Leap ability can be dangerous even if the rules for leaping are not always 100% clear. In the Road to Legend, they get faster and meaner at every level. Once you attack a Master Blood Ape, make sure you kill it the same round unless you want to discover what a Berserk ape can do.
