The Reptilian Apes were a type of creature seen in the movie A Sound of Thunder. [1]

Background

The Reptilian Apes were a bizarre fusion of reptilian and primate qualities that were created when Earth's timeline was disrupted during a temporal safari trip into the Jurassic period when a hunter accidently stepped on a butterfly and brought its body through a time portal to the future. This minor event forever altered the timeline and during the time waves, the reptilian apes suddenly evolved in the changing environment of Humanity's former home.

The creatures were larger then a Human and possessed reptilian scaly skin and long raptor style tails along with sharp claws. The primate feature of the creatures was their face which resembled a baboon or mandrill with large fangs that extended when the mouth opened. Despite their reptilian ancestry, these creatures acted more along the line of their simian roots and made large monkey style screeches. Their skin was armoured allowing them to survive weapon fire but their throats were softer which were exposed when the animals were making aggressive postures where they roared. Such opportunities allowed Humans to kill these creatures by firing at the exposed weak throat with a single shot killing the beast. However, shots on their body and face did little to detract the creatures when they hunted Humans.

They tended to walk on all fours and were capable of using their claws to climb buildings. Apparently, they tend to sleep in enclosed structures where they suspend themselves from the ceiling through the use of their tails. They appeared to be communal creatures and lived in large numbers. Its not known if they were the top predator in this altered environment as there was the appearance of the large bats and the sea serpent.

The existence of the creatures ended when Dr Travis Ryer journeyed into a time portal to the past where he helped stop the temporal event that altered Earth's evolution.

The creatures were not named in the movie and thus the name in this article is simply based on their appearance.
