==Profile==
===Background===
Primate Murder is the form taken by Cath Palug in worlds where he was not able to obtain a different perspective on humans by staying with Merlin. Primate Murder came to be under Altrouge Brunestud's control at some point.Kagetsu Tohya - Ten Nights of Dream - Crimson Moon
=== Appearance ===
Fou claims that if he were allowed to mature normally, he would degenerate into "an unsightly monstrosity." It is possible he would have horns, as all other Beasts do and Fou is sometimes depicted with horns such as on Fate/Grand Order's stat up cards. Lancelot and Gawain compare Cath Palug to Demon Hound Barghest.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Avalon le Fae: Fae Round Table Domain - Section 29: Certain Prophecy
==Role==
Primate Murder has yet to appear directly in any works. Avenger briefly references it in Fate/hollow ataraxia, calling it a better murderer than himself.Fate/hollow ataraxia - Heaven's Feel - 3/ Dialogue Mobiuslink
==Abilities==
Primate Murder is both the Monster of Gaia and the . He is counted as one of the strongest because he has the absolute murder privilege against the human species. He has a super advantage against Primates. Its ability to slay Humans is similar to ORT in terms of speed, surpassing even Angra Mainyu. Just like ORT, Primate Murder stands in a league of his own compared to Servants and the other Dead Apostle Ancestors. In fact, it takes 7 Guardians from which the Holy Grail War is based on to control him. Although Altrouge Brunestud has not reached a level high enough to succeed Crimson Moon, her ability to keep Primate Murder under her control makes her more monstrous than Crimson Moon. While not a Dead Apostle, it has, in mimicking its master, developed a taste for human blood.
