(Affects Ape and Ape-Men) Apeosauritis is a disorder that usually affects Ape-Men. It can occasionally affect Great Apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, etc.) The only thing that causes it is if an Ape-Man or Great Ape somehow mates with a reptile. An Ape with Apeosauritis is called an Apeosaur. A baby Apeosaur would grow scaly hands and feet. It would rest on rocks in the sun all day. It would also flick out its tongue like a lizard or a snake.

Other apes usually abandon them out of fright. The only cure for Apeosauritis is to dissect another Ape or Ape-Man. After drinking the antidote, it will take a month for the drug to take effect. There is, however, only a two or three percent chance this would ever happen. An Apeosaur's friends would usually be another Apeosaur.
