Line 20:
* In ''[[Tintin|The Black Island]]'', the villains keep a gorilla named Ranko to attack anyone who trespasses on the island of the title.
* [[DC Comics]] supervillains Gorilla Grodd and Monsieur Mallah.
** In Grodd's case this trope is actually given [[Hand-Wave]] that he is an [[Uplifted Animal]] and while the majority of the Gorilla's given superior intelligence are peaceful and developed their own city, [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|Grodd is a deviant among his own kind.]]
* The second arc of ''[[The Incredibles (comics)|The Incredibles]]'' comic series starts with an attack on the mall by the Ungorilla, a [[Captain Ersatz]] of Grodd.
* Don Martin drew a comic around the self-created holiday National Gorilla Suit Day (that's January 31.) In it, recurring character Fester Bestertester is visited by several wearers of gorilla suits, many of them being actual killer gorillas who creatively mangle him several times.
Line 76:
* ''[[Spongebob Squarepants]]'' has the episode "I Had An Accident" where Patrick dresses up as one of this and "attacks" Sandy to cure Spongebob of his agoraphobia. Spongebob sees through the ploy, but a real Gorilla appears and captures both of them which cures Spongebob's phobia but gets all three a new phobia of Gorillas. Then Spongebob [[Fridge Logic|Why there is a Gorilla underwater to begin with]] and cue the [[Ginax Ending]].
* ''[[Johnny Test]]'' Susan and Mary accidentally turn Gil into one of these in "Johnny X" after an attempt at making a [[Love Potion]] goes awry.
== [[Real Life]] ==
* This trope especially comes into play when misguided humans, charmed by how much a baby chimpanzee resembles a human child, try to take one as a pet. The problem comes when this cute little chimp hits puberty and becomes a very strong, very aggressive primate easily strong enough to rip your arm off and beat you to death with it. Or if you're lucky they'll stop at merely ripping your face off.
