This immense ape is covered in shaggy auburn fur. Even stooped over, it stands taller than a man, and its powerful odor assaults your nostrils.

Gigantopithecus is a large, reclusive ape notable for its specialized diet.

Gigantopithecus feed almost solely on bamboo and wood pulp, which they eat using their immense, powerful jaws. Most of a gigantopithecus' time is therefore spent eating, in order to extract nutrients from this sparse, difficult food. Gigantopithecus are mostly solitary, but the ranges of multiple females overlap the territory of a single male, who defends his land and females fiercely from the attention of other males. Like an orangutan, to which gigantopithecus is closely related, the males of the species are much larger than the females, and have broad, wide cheekbones.

Combat
Shy and retiring, gigantopithecus prefer to use their immense size and powerful rank odor to discourage predators, and flee from most confrontations. A cornered animal, or a male defending his territory, will fight savagely with crushing fists.

This Pleistocene creature looked like a shaggy, elephant-nosed camel. It had a long neck with thick limbs, and it browsed on leaves from trees and bushes. Generally inoffensive, this creature could be dangerous if provoked.

Originally appeared in Dragon Magazine #137 (1988).

I'm going to say it looks Large advancing to Huge from the description (over 3 meters in length and fairly bulky). It looks like we're free to pick HD, so how about around 8HD, like the rhino? Probably could modify rhino abilities.
