Gorillas are often (or rather, used to be) depicted as ravenous, dangerous beasts and stock monsters for heroes to fight. As time has gone on and primatology has advanced, it's been generally understood that gorillas are considerably nicer than many other primates, particularly chimpanzees and baboons, are almost exclusively herbivorous, and generally avoid violence in most circumstances. In response to this, many writers, especially in recent years, have presented gorillas in a more sympathetic light, demonstrating them to be placid creatures. This being said, they're still usually depicted as willing to throw down in order to protect themselves, their friends, or their family. Often, fictional gorillas initially appear threatening, but calm down and become this trope after realizing that their percieved opponents mean no harm. Contrast this trope to Killer Gorilla, which it was created to challenge. This trope is also a Sub-Trope of Gentle Giant. See also Intelligent Primate, since friendly gorillas also have a tendency to be shown as intelligent. Mostly Truth in Television, as gorillas are among the least aggressive primates and will leave humans alone unless they feel directly threatened. Friendlier examples of a King Kong Copy can qualify for this trope. Compare Big-Hearted Bigfoot, another example of a large but friendly hairy hominid, and Erudite Orangutan, a smart and usually friendly ape. Could dovetail with Abhorrent Admirer, if it's a female who is very friendly, and the object of its affection isn't too keen on it, or even a male of the gorilla species. For tropes about other large, gentle herbivores, see also Genial Giraffe and Honorable Elephant. |

While King Kong started off as a Killer Gorilla, he gradually became this trope over the years as gorillas became better understood by science. His Monsterverse incarnation has him in an almost completely heroic light, with Godzilla vs. Kong in particular showing him being close friends with a deaf human girl. | |

The Amalgamverse has King Kong, an evolved kaiju sized descendent of Ardipithecus. While brutal in combat against rivals and the skullcrawlers, he's a Gentle Giant unless provoked and specifically protects the Iwi islands. He becomes the Mentor Archetype to a young Godzilla Junior. | |

Donkey Kong is one of the most prolific examples of this trope in popular culture. While his initial appearance was villainous (though still sympathetic), all of the Donkey Kong Country games present him as an easy-going individual who only fights in order to protect his horde of bananas from King K. Rool. | |

Mighty Joe Young: In both the 1949 and the 1998 versions, Joe is a gigantic, but friendly gorilla who shares a strong bond with a woman named Jill Young. Similarly to King Kong, he gets captured and exhibited to the public, then escapes and rampages through the city; while people are first terrified of him, he proves himself to be nice in the eyes of the public by rescuing a human child from mortal danger (burning orphanage in the original, ferris wheel in the remake). | |

In Congo and its film adaptation, Amy is a tame female gorilla who can communicate with humans through sign language. She acts as a mediator between the humans and the Killer Gorilla tribe that dwells in the city of Zinj. The novel also goes to some lengths to note that gorillas are normally not aggressive, and the Killer Gorillas of Zinj act that way because the original human inhabitants taught them to act that way (to be guards), and they have been teaching their descendants ever since. | |

Donkey Kong: The Kong clan as of the Donkey Kong Country series consists of primates who just want to lead a peaceful existence. While some of them are other species such as orangutans or chimps, they mostly consist of gorillas. Donkey Kong is one of the most prolific examples of this trope in popular culture. While his initial appearance was villainous (though still sympathetic), all of the Donkey Kong Country games present him as an easy-going individual who only fights in order to protect his horde of bananas from King K. Rool. Funky Kong is a gorilla mixed with Totally Radical, being a very supportive and nice person who helps Donkey Kong and his partners out. Kiddy Kong is an oversized baby gorilla who faithfully follows Dixie Kong on her rescue mission and has fun through it all. Chunky Kong, Kiddy's brother, is by far the largest and strongest of the extended Kong clan. He's also extremely timid and such a Gentle Giant that one of his idle animations involves a bunch of butterflies landing on him. |

Tarzan (1999) portrays the eponymous ape foundling's adoptive family as gorillas (the original books depicted them as a fictional ape race known as Mangani, who very much played the Killer Gorilla trope straight), and they behave more in line with a modern understanding of what gorillas are like. They're all pretty friendly, for the most part, and Kala, Tarzan's foster mother, was the first to connect with Tarzan after rescuing him as a baby. The only gorilla who's by no means friendly is Kerchak, the silverback leader, and he's more Good is Not Nice and has understandable reasons not to want Tarzan as a son; in fact, in the opening montage, he's shown to be a caring father to his gorilla child, and was clearly grief-stricken when he realized that the latter had been killed and eaten by Sabor. | |

The Lion Guard: Every gorilla in the show are friendly good guys. King Sokwe is a Reasonable Authority Figure whose idea of a peace treaty is to playfully dump snow on one's head, and his sons Majinuni and Hafifu are Kindhearted Simpletons. In Season 2, the Guard gain an ally in Shujaa, an immensely-strong gorilla who is normally a Gentle Giant, despite initially having trouble controlling his strength, and becomes good friends with Beshte. | |

The Electric Company: Paul the Gorilla, who helped Jennifer of the Jungle in reading skits. Sometimes characters would (comically) faint at the sight of him but Paul was harmless and one to make a quick friend with many others. | |
