Goat gorilla

The goat gorilla is a large beast which is a hybrid of a gorilla and a goat which typically resides within mountainous and forested areas of the Earth Kingdom, generally far from large settlements. Although it is a rather rampant beast in the wild and appears vicious, it can be quite lovable and docile in captivity.

Anatomy
The goat gorilla is a large animal which bears a similar build to the gorilla while exhibiting physical attributes akin to a goat. It is generally uniform in terms of coloration, apart from small sections of its body which appear in different pigmentations. Goat gorillas are only known to have either a murky white or a dark red hide, with brown features appearing in both cases. The goat gorilla'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 either side, and a single tuft of brown fur grows from the center of its back. Most wild goat gorillas appear dark red in coloration.

Behavior
Goat gorillas 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 goat gorillas tend to be larger than their captive counterparts. As they are quite monstrous in size, wild goat gorillas occupy relatively large spaces of land. These creatures are hostile toward intruders who trespass into their territory, and are hardly hesitant in attacking those they identify as threats. Goat gorillas 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 goat gorillas, given that passersby and co-inhabitants of the area maintain a respectable distance from key goat gorilla territory.

Tamed behavior


Goat gorillas can become relatively docile in captivity. When trained, they can serve as figures of security while still showing qualities of obedient pets. Flopsie, a goat gorilla belonging to the eccentric King Bumi, was a perfect example of this. Goat gorillas seem to be intelligent to a certain degree, as Flopsie was 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. Goat gorillas are very affectionate, mostly to their respective owners. They enjoy displays of affection, such as being rubbed and played with. The only goat gorilla known to be tamed is Flopsie.

Connection
The goat gorilla can be directly linked to both of its namesakes: the goat and the gorilla.
