Tortured gorillas are found in the Crash Site Cavern after completion of Monkey Madness II. Nine tortured gorillas are fought during Monkey Madness II; three level 142 gorillas while riding a stunted demonic gorilla in Glough's laboratory, four level 142 gorillas in the Tree Gnome Stronghold, and two level 141 gorillas during the penultimate fight of the quest.

Tortured gorillas are nearly identical to demonic gorillas; they can use all three combat styles and can change them, though they will do so after four missed attacks, not three. Their drop table is considerably worse however, with their unique drops being ten times rarer compared to demonic gorillas.

Unlike their stronger counterparts, tortured gorillas are not considered black demons for a Slayer task, though they do count towards a monkey task.
