For comparison purposes:
And yes, Cleon, it's got an Int of 6, because it's not an animal. Presumably, our giant ape here will be, but I'm definitely open to negotiations on that one.
I was wondering how long it would take for that guy to turn up. No need to point out the explanation for their Int 6, I noticed they were Monstrous Humanoids when they appeared in your thread on Skull Island fauna. I wouldn't have minded making our regular Chimps and Gorillas Humanoids or Monstrous Humanoids, just to allow them an Intelligence over 2.
As well as being a smarter,
Megaprimatus kong also appears to be a bit bigger and tougher than the species of giant ape under discussion, given the latter's lower HD and damage.
So what are we doing for stats? I'm still thinking we could basically just advance a regular Dire Ape one size category and double its Hit Dice:

The only stat alterations I've made from an upsized Dire Ape is changed the claw damage from 1d8 to 2d4 and removed the Climb Speed, to match the stat thumbnail Shade posted.
Its lack of a Climb speed suggests a terrestrial creature rather than one that takes to the trees. Maybe it has a more bipedal, sasquatch-like stance than
Megaprimatus kong?
I'm tempted to give it rock-throwing, just to differentiate it a bit more from Kong.
