Armored Gorilla

From The Codex

I am the pinnacle of the House of Evolution's science, Armored Gorilla. Your attacks have no effect.
~ Armored Gorilla to Genos

Background

Armored Gorilla is an artificial mutant created by Dr. Genus. It is the third-strongest specimen of the House of Evolution and its only battle cyborg.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Armored Gorilla’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

House of Evolution Arc
After witnessing Saitama instantly kill Mosquito Girl, Dr. Genus takes great interest in him as a human specimen, and sends Armored Gorilla, Beast King, Kamakyuri, Ground Dragon, Frog Man, and Slugerous to abduct him for further research.

Saitama defeats Kamakyuri, Frog Man, and Slugerous in a failed ambush, but is grabbed and rooted in concrete by Ground Dragon. Genos attempts a rescue, but is intercepted by Armored Gorilla, who piques Genos' interest as a fellow cyborg. While Beast King and Ground Dragon engage Saitama, Armored Gorilla battles Genos, losing his helmet and robotic limbs in the process.

Defeated and dismembered, Armored Gorilla sneers that Genos will never defeat his stronger comrade, Beast King. After Saitama arrives holding Beast King's severed eye, however, Armored Gorilla quickly relents, promising to answer any of their questions in exchange for his life.

After revealing the history of Dr. Genus, Armored Gorilla is left lying in the demolished overpass. He contacts Dr. Genus discreetly to warn of their arrival, but is nearly caught in the act by Genos.

Alien Conquerors Arc
During the Dark Matter Thieves attack on A-City, Armored Gorilla along with his master, Dr. Genus, are seen in their newly opened takoyaki shop preparing takoyaki while watching the news on the television.

Monster Association Arc
While heading back to his master while wearing a hood to disguise himself in public he is spotted by Marshall Gorilla. After having his allegiances questioned by Marshall Gorilla, Armored Gorilla is attacked by the latter when he manages to counter his knife attack with a single punch to the face, knocking the opposing gorilla out cold. He then continues on his way, unaware that one of the House of Evolution's former subjects, Zombieman, is trailing him to find where Genus is hiding.

As Zombieman finally tracks him down to the House of Takoyaki 🐙, he mistakes the hero for a customer and tells him to wait for him to come take his order. Zombieman then uses his Desert Eagle to intimidate Armored Gorilla and proclaims that he has come to destroy the House of Evolution. Confused with Zombieman's statement, he states that the House of Evolution had been destroyed long ago, much to the immortal hero's surprise, and takes him to meet Genus. During Zombieman's conversation with Genus, he threatens him with an axe while inquiring about why he shut down the House of Evolution. Armored Gorilla is seen sitting behind them, showing great concern for his master's well-being.
