Gigantopithecus
Is there any GURPS book that has stats for Gigantopithecus, the extinct species of ape?

By normal rules, it's mostly a gorilla with an avg ST 32 (low estimates) to ST 42 (high estimates) based on weight? By KYOS, about half those numbers.

Re: Gigantopithecus
There really isn't much known about them. We only have a few teeth and bits of jaw.
That sucks for researchers, but is a boon to GMs. You can stat them up with far more freedom without too many "um... actually..." pedants. They were related to orangs, gorilla+ in size, and ate fibrous sweet food most likely bamboo. Nothing else is known, so design them however you want to fit your setting.
