Goat gorilla

The Gorilla Goat is a relatively large beast first seen in the city of Omashu. Its territory lies within mountainous and forested areas of the Earth Kingdom, generally distant from large settlements. It is a rather rampant beast in the wild, it seems vicious, but can be quite lovable and docile in captivity.

Anatomy
The Gorilla Goat is an extremely large animal, bearing a similar build to the gorilla while exhibiting physical attributes from the goat. It is generally uniform in terms of coloration, apart from small sections of its body which appear in different pigmentations. Gorilla Goats have only been seen either in a murky white or a dark red hide, with brown features appearing in both cases. The Gorilla Goat's face is relatively intimidating, composed of large green eyes, a striking nose and a mouth with two tusks protruding upward. Two ivory horns extend from the creature's head, with two large ears dangling on the side. A single tuft of brown fur grows from the center of its back.

Connection
The Gorilla Goat can be directly linked to both of its namesakes, being the gorilla and the goat.

Behavior
Gorilla Goats are fearsome beasts in the wild. They roam areas of lush forestry, though they can also be found in areas that lack any evidence of plant life, suggesting that they are able to withstand a variety of environments and living conditions. Untamed Gorilla Goats tend to be larger than their captive counterparts, possibly due to exponentially different lifestyles. As wild Gorilla Goats are quite monstrous in size, they occupy relatively large spaces of land. These creatures are hostile towards intruders who trespass their territory, and are hardly hesitant in attacking those they identify as threats. Gorilla Goats often initiate a confrontation, ramming opponents repeatedly until they fall. They use their massive arms as weapons, raising them high to gain momentum before smashing them to the ground. Despite their violent nature, however, it is possible to coexist with Gorilla Goats, given that passersby and co-inhabitants of the area maintain a respectable distance from key Gorilla Goat territory. Most wild Gorilla Goats appear dark red in coloration.

Tamed Behavior
Gorilla Goats can become relatively docile in captivity. When trained, they can serve as figures of security while still showing qualities of obedient pets. Flopsie, a Gorilla Goat belonging to the eccentric King Bumi, is a perfect example of this. Gorilla Goats seem to be intelligent to a certain degree, as Flopsie is able to recognize his owner as well as his name. In addition to this, they seem to retain certain pieces of information, such as the layout of particular locations and the identity of previously observed figures. Flopsie exhibited these skills upon recognizing Aang, before taking him around Omashu in search of Bumi. Gorilla Goats are very affectionate, mostly to their respective owners. They enjoy displays of affection, such as being rubbed and played with. The only tamed Gorilla Goat seen is Flopsie, and he appears white in coloration.
