The carnivorous ape is the more ferocious cousin of the ape.  While this creature moves as slowly as his lesser counterpart, it has the ability to grab and hold a player, crushing him or her to death.

Strategy
The carnivorous ape has similar attacks to the owlbear, so the strategies for combat are similar too. Ranged attacks are the best way to deal with one. If grabbed, use sleep, paralysis or scaring to escape.
