#### special abilities
### Crash Through (Ex)
A behemoth’s movement is not impeded by undergrowth, trees, rubble, and similar difficult terrain; by Medium or smaller creatures; or by allies of any size. A behemoth can attempt a combat maneuver to overrun a Colossal or smaller opponent as a swift action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
### Crushing Grip (Ex)
When a behemoth gorilla succeeds on a grapple check, it deals 4d8+15 points of damage. Creatures who take damage from this ability must succeed on a DC 30 Fortitude save or be exhausted. The save DC is Strength-based.
#### ecology
**Terrain** Warm forest and warm mountains
**Organization** Solitary or company (5–8)
**Treasure** None
**Advancement** 22–42 HD (Huge)
Behemoths are outsiders in animal form that are of epic proportions, even larger and more powerful than dire animals.
Behemoths resemble natural animals in almost all respects, but they are grossly larger than their natural counterparts, hailing from beyond the material plane. They are more intelligent than their mundane counterparts, and their otherworldliness confers a level of magical fortitude not found in earthbound versions.
A behemoth gorilla stands 50 feet tall or more and weighs close to 80,000 pounds.
### Combat
A behemoth gorilla can rend opponents with its massive fists, as well as deliver a nasty bite. It prefers to grab, pin and crush smaller opponents. Against creatures of gargantuan or larger size it prefers to full attack and tear it apart with its rend.
