Strongarms are a type of ape-like creatures that are associated with the Banana Boys. As evidenced in their name, they have long arms. In the level, Metalhead, they are known to throw their smaller cousins at Spyro, also when Metalhead battles Spyro, he throws Strongarms at him and can be used to destroy the pylons which power Metalhead. Their bodies are big and strong along with their arms while their legs are shrunken. This could be from under usage because they climb so much.
