Ape

Apes were primates without tails, similar to the apes in our world. The books don't mention which apes they were, but recent film adaptions had shown which ones there were.

During in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, many Apes appear on the side of Aslan while others were shown on the side of the White Witch. The apes that fought on Aslan's side were Gorillas. And the Apes that fought along-side the White Witch were known as Shifts. The two types of Apes hate each other with a passion, which would explain why they went to war with each other. During the Narnian Revolution, all the apes which include Gorillas and Shifts fought together with the Old Narnians against King Miraz and the Telmarine army in the Second Battle of Beruna.
