Gorilla-Wolves are monstrous creatures found in Purgatory. They are presumably one of Eve's many creations.



Characteristics and Attributes
Gorilla-Wolves are creatures that are native, and perhaps exclusive, to Purgatory. They make their first and only appearance in Survival of the Fittest, when Dean and Castiel were dragged by Dick into Purgatory.

They are quadrupedal creatures that presumably possess both the qualities of a gorilla and a wolf. The front legs of the Gorilla-Wolves appear to function like that of a gorilla when it walks on all of its four limbs. However, their locomotion is much more reminiscent of that of a wolf's. Interestingly, a Gorilla-Wolf's tail resembles neither of the two eponymous animals. Whereas a gorilla does not possess a visible tail structure, and a wolf's tail is bushy, the Gorilla-Wolf possess a slender, flexible tail much more akin to that of a cat. They appear to be completely covered with fur.

A Gorilla-Wolf's eyes glow red. Whether this occurs only in the dark or during any intensity of light is unknown. Their eyes are set very high up on their heads, unlike how either a gorilla or a wolf's eyes are set just above the middle level of its face.

They are one of two creatures so far seen in Purgatory that do not appear humanoid, if we count the Leviathan's true form that is more like an amorphous black goo. Interestingly, unlike other monsters in Purgatory, Gorilla-Wolves also appear to work as a pack--another trait they share with the Leviathan.

Powers and Abilities

 * Enhanced Speed - They can move in quick bursts of speed, undeterred by Purgatory's thicket.
 * Enhanced Strength (presumed) - Like most monsters, and from half of its namesake, it possibly has enhanced strength to overpower lower creatures.
 * Enhanced Senses (presumed) - It possibly has heightened senses like the smell and hearing of the wolf.
 * Fangs (presumed) - Gorilla-Wolves have razor sharp teeth that could rip its prey to shreds.
 * Claws (presumed) - Gorilla-Wolves have razor sharp claws not unlike that of a Kitsune or a Werewolf.

Weakness

 * The Colt (presumed) - Like most monsters, they could perhaps be killed by the Colt.
 * Killing Touch (presumed) - Like most monsters, they are susceptible to an angel's killing touch.
 * White Light (presumed) - A powerful angel's white light could harm and even kill them.
 * Any severe injury (presumed) - As Dean was able to escape them, it can be presumed they could be fended off by conventional weapons carried by Dean to Purgatory.
