Gorill-uck

The **Gorill-uck** is the eighth gorilla that can be befriended in the game. It could only be obtained by purchasing it in the 2017 Chinese New Year event for 200, and after purchase it can be found permanently in the stampede. After the 18th of May 2017, in update 1.8.0, it was re-released and reclassified as an endangered animal. It can now only be found, like all endangered animals, on certain random days, and its match can be tamed on a certain random day after that.

## Appearance

The Gorill-uck has the same natural features as the Western Gorilla, although it can be distinguished by its clothes, consisting of a traditional Chinese jacket and black pants. The jacket is predominantly red with light pale gold decals, including cuffs and shoulder pads, the base of the jacket, the traditional string configuration which works like buttons and the Chinese character '福' (pinyin: fú) meaning luck in ancient Chinese in a circle on the inside and outside of the forearm. Intriguingly, the '福' on the left side of each arm is flipped horizontally. The Gorill-uck also wears a traditional Chinese hat which is octagonal to replicate a circle, with a light orange dome surrounded by a black rim and a single black squatchee on top.

* Obtain in events:
	+ Purchase for 200 in the 2017 Chinese New Year Event.

	+ Ride past 900m in Jungle.
* After it is matched it can be found permanently in the stampede.

**Note:** Its chance of appearing is extremely low due to it being a tier 5 animal. It will appear randomly but very rarely, and never before 900m.

## Baby Gorill-uck

* Jump from animals 5% higher
* Rare animals appear 5% more often

## Trivia

* The Gorill-uck is a play on luck, particularly the luck in Chinese culture, in name and appearance.
	+ The Baby Gorill-uck's ability where rare animals appear 5% more often references luck in that it is luckier to find rare animals.

## Notes

* The Gorill-uck was first released on the 25th of January 2017 in version 1.5.0 to celebrate Chinese New Year, expiring in version 1.6.0 on the 8th of February 2017.
	+ It was re-released permanently on the 18th of May 2017 in version 1.8.0 as an endangered animal, where its tier, XP value and breeding time changed from 4, 10 and 8hrs respectively to what it currently is.
* The Baby Gorill-uck is missing the hat characteristic of the adult, instead sporting dark brown hair.
* The Gorill-uck's description was changed in version 1.20.0 on the 24th of October 2018 for reasons possibly relating to insensitivity of the subject referenced. The original description was "Harambe wishes he wore this jacket.", which referenced the killing of Harambe.
	+ The current description contains an error in which "Gorilla" is capitalised incorrectly.
		- This was fixed in 1.24.0 on the 23rd of October 2019.
