Drunk Ape

A «Drunken Ape» (ドランクエイプ) is one of the strongest monsters in «The Forest of Wandering» in Sword Art Online.

Background
Though they lack speed and multi-hitting combos, Drunken Apes are known to be one of the strongest monsters in the thirty-fifth floor. They are capable of causing a formidable amount of damage with the use of low-level mace skills and are also capable of healing themselves by drinking some healing liquid from their gourd, making them a difficult opponent if they attack in groups.

Appearance
Drunken Apes are anthropoid beings covered with dark red fur. They each carry a crude club in its right hand and some sort of gourd with a string tied around it in its left hand.

The Black Swordsman
Several Drunken Apes attacked the lost Silica in the Forest of Wanderings. The Drunken Apes quickly overpowered the female player due to their number and healing abilities and killed her Familiar, Pina. Distraught and grieving due to the death of her beloved pet, Silica attacked the apes and managed to kill one but is still outnumbered. At the last second, Kirito arrived and killed the remaining Drunken Apes, saving the thirteen year old Dragon Master.
