| - Stromling Apes, originally known as Maelstrom Apes, are mini-bosses found in Gnarled Forest. Stromling Apes were first created when the Darkitect searched Gnarled Forest, looking for potential allies for his Stromling Pirate Armada in their battles against Captain Jack Knife and Venture League. During his search, he discovered an ape and was inspired to recreate the colossal creature as a menacing, aggressive Maelstrom servant. Stromling Apes have been known to ambush pirate travelers passing in and out of the Pirate Camp, and these Stromling Apes keep these pirates' parrots as loot.

| - Stromling Apes, originally known as Maelstrom Apes, are mini-bosses found in Gnarled Forest. Stromling Apes were first created when the Darkitect searched Gnarled Forest, looking for potential allies for his Stromling Pirate Armada in their battles against Captain Jack Knife and Venture League. During his search, he discovered an ape and was inspired to recreate the colossal creature as a menacing, aggressive Maelstrom servant. Stromling Apes have been known to ambush pirate travelers passing in and out of the Pirate Camp, and these Stromling Apes keep these pirates' parrots as loot. Stromling Apes first appeared in Mission 12 of The Great Minifig Mission under their original name "Maelstrom Ape". Mission 12 provided information on the Maelstrom Apes, stating that they were corrupted by the Maelstrom and warning Minifigures to approach Maelstrom Apes with caution. In the mini-game, Maelstrom Apes occasionally appeared in a small town styled after Zorillo Plaza, and players would have to shoot the Maelstrom Apes to get more points. Maelstrom Apes reappear in Mission 20, where players must indicate their risk level based upon Mission 12's information. A Stromling Ape makes its first in-game appearance in the log-in screen, where it roars at the player, walks around, and sits down. A courageous Minifig defeats this Stromling Ape by hopping into a cannon manned by another Minifig. The second Minifig fires the cannon, sending the first Minifig flying into the Stromling Ape, which is smashed into LEGO bricks as a result. Stromling Apes can be found in key areas of Gnarled Forest, where they serve as obstacles to players passing through the jungle. Specifically, Stromling Apes can be found in the roads leading from Maelstrom Trench to Elephant Escarpment, from Elephant Escarpment to Brig Rock, and from Brig Rock to Pirate Camp. To aid players, Venture League has buried anchors in these areas that are unearthed when Stromling Apes use their Ground Pound attacks. As mini-bosses, Stromling Apes have 25 Armor points in addition to 80 Life points. If an Ape is attacked to the point where its armor is depleted, it will be dazed for several seconds. The ideal way to defeat one is to build an anchor from the loose pieces often found lying around Apes during this period of being stunned. The anchor quick build unearthed by the Apes require 9 Imagination. The anchors do not smash Apes instantly when built, but instead deal 60-75 damage to their health, making the Apes considerably easier for players to battle. When defeated, Stromling Apes drop a wide variety of items, including various rare drops and Faction Tokens. A Stromling Ape was responsible for smashing Kurt Tussle, causing the Nexus Force Guard to be assigned to gate duty. Before allowing players to travel to Crux Prime, Duke Exeter sends players to prove themselves by bringing back either a Stromling Admiral's anchor or a Stromling Ape's anchor. A Stromling Ape makes a cameo appearance during races held at Dragonmaw Chasm in Forbidden Valley. When players drive through the Stromling-infested tunnels underneath Paradox Refinery, the Stromling Ape can be seen watching the race from the right side of the tunnel and occasionally beating its chest with its fists, as if preparing for a ground pound.
