Ape Demon (77260) (Bones) as Frostgrave White Gorilla

[Chris Palmer]

      For a while I had been pondering what figure to use for the White Gorilla creature from the Frostgrave rules.   Then one day, while looking for something else, I spotted the Ape Demon figure from the Bones II Lesser Demons set, and I thought, "Why not?"  Maybe the White Gorillas of Frostgrave are the descendants of some bizarre experiment of a misguided wizard long ago who thought it would be a good idea to cross a bat with a gorilla. (Maybe so he could quickly run errands for him through the crowded city.  That's why he has the one big ear; (so he can hear his master call him home), and the big hands so he can carry all the grocery shopping!) Over the centuries the wings have become flightless, but they still make the creature look fearsome. :)

 

 I really like how he turned out.  And I think he fills the role of descendant of bizarre wizard's experiment just as well as he did as his intended use as a demon! :)

That color scheme actually looks pretty cool I may be stealing it for mine.

Great color scheme.   Had a similar idea for a while for two Nalfeshnee boar demons.  Do one dark skinned and one albino similar to your ape demon.  Call them Ebony and Ivory.

Thanks, CrazyK!  Doing a pair of demons in dark and light would be cool.

Thank, chaoshead!   I felt the wings made it look like some kind of bizarre wizard experiment gone bad, so for me it only added to the figure's appeal. :)  I'm glad you like how it looks.

Thanks, Tricksay!   If I hadn't been in the market for a White Ape, I never would have though to do that color scheme for that figure.  So it turned out to be quite a happy accident as far as selecting those colors for that figure!  :)
