16	-->'''Grape Ape:''' Sorrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy. Grape Ape, Grape Ape.
17	* {{Funny Animal}}s: Grape Ape and Beegle, naturally.
18	* GentleGiant: Grape Ape, despite his massive size, is very friendly and only causes damage due to his klutziness.
19	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Both Grape Ape and Beegle Beagle, and probably more. This is a Creator/HannaBarbera production, of course.
20	* {{Kaiju}}: Grape Ape. Much friendlier than the usual, but he's still a 50-foot tall ape!
21	* KillerGorilla: The people who scream at his sight believe he is one.
