History Monster / PlanetOfTheApes

* [[VideoGame/PlanetOfTheApes2001 2001 video game]] (PC[=/=]UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation}} version): [[ANaziByAnyOtherName General Ursus]] is the leader of the gorillas and one of the members of the Ape High Council. Seeing gorillas as [[MasterRace superior to other apes]], Ursus discovered that Professor Cornelius managed to find a way to use human DNA to improve the ape genetic code. Forcing Professor Cornelius to work for him and continue his [[PlayingWithSyringes experiments]] on captured humans, Ursus planned to "enhance" the gorillas and create an unbeatable army, which he intended to use it to [[KillAllHumans completely wipe out humanity]] and take over the ape society, while slaughtering any ape who would resist his rule. When [[PlayerCharacter Ulysses]] humiliated him and stole the results of Cornelius's research, Ursus ordered his gorillas to attack a human village and wipe out most of the humans there.

* ''Dawn of the Planet of the Apes'' continuity:
** [[ComicBook/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes Prequel comic]], written by Michael Moreci: [[TheSocialDarwinist Pope]] is a brutal chimpanzee and the commander of Caesar's ape soldiers. [[MightMakesRight Believing that Caesar's rule has made the ape society weak]], Pope desires to wrest power from the Ape King through any means necessary. Subjugating a tribe of primal apes by killing their alpha, Pope forces them to undergo vicious {{training|FromHell}} to mold them into loyal soldiers with which to use to conquer Caesar's colony. Demonstrating his cruelty by having a dissenting ape tortured and [[FedToTheBeast fed to a polar bear]], Pope proceeds to have dozens of humans and apes alike rounded up and caged with the intention of using them as slave fodder. When confronted about his inhumane treatment towards his fellow apes, Pope [[NoTrueScotsman casually decries them as not apes]], but mere "dumb animals".
** [[Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes Film]]: [[ItsAllAboutMe Koba]] is a [[AbsoluteXenophobe xenophobic ape]] of the highest order. Initially loyal to Caesar, he was disgusted with the fact that Caesar would bring humans into their territory, so Koba decides to betray his leader and take matters into his own hands. Displaying his callousness by murdering two helpless guards, Koba raids the armory of the human city, returning to shoot Caesar and burn down his former home. Pinning the blame on the humans, Koba rallies the misguided apes into attacking San Francisco. Koba shows his hypocritical nature by cruelly tossing the young Ash to his death when he refuses to kill defenseless people in Caesar's name. Upon [[TyrantTakesTheHelm taking over the city]], Koba imposes his rule by trapping the humans in cages and imprisoning any ape still loyal to Caesar in chains. When finally confronted by Caesar, Koba snaps and starts gunning down his former comrades, even as Caesar is trying to help them. Displaying savagery to human and ape alike, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Koba]] proved to be [[HeWhoFightsMonsters no better than the worst of the humans he despised]].
