Ape
Apes are soldiers in service of the Dark Master, Malefor.
Service to the Dark Master
After the Dark Master was cast out of the Dragon Realms, he built a army of Apes and taught them how to artificially harness the power of the gems, the Dragons lifesource. The Apes served as the army for the Dark Master. The last king of the Apes was Gaul. His army's job was to fight battles againts the dragons,win battles in order to gain ground, occupate the Dragon Realms and destroy Spyro's egg. There army consists of soldiers, leaders and commanders, etc. They can also mount on the bat-like Dread Wings. (Find out more on Apes domestocation of Animals).

Attack on the Dragon Temple
Gauls forces infiltrated the Dragon Temple and destroyed the dragon eggs, but Spyro's was saved by Ignitus. The Dark Master was also needed a dragon who was born on the Year of the Dragon to free him from the Well of Souls. Cynder's egg was captured. Cynder was raised in total darkness and she became a cruel and sadistic general of his army.
Ranks
The Apes seem to have ranks, but the Ape King seems to be the one incharge.
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
Apes first apeared in this game when they captured Sparx. Spyro killed them and freed Sparx. Spyro,along with Ignitus wiped out all the apes that were inside the Dragon Temple. From that point on the apes would become the main enemy you would encounter. They apear in Dante's Freezer, Tall Plains, Munitions Forge and finally Cynder's Lair. There is one Ape called the Conductor, who drives a steam engine called Steam.
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
Apes appear in the second part of the trilogy in on several occasions, but you do not fight them primarily. The first one was when they launched an all out attack on the Dragon Temple, but Spyro and the guardians foiled their plans. They also appear on the Pirate Ship and the last occasion is in the end, on the Mountain of Malefor.
When they attack the pirate fleet may have been because they have refused to give up Cynder or Spyro, whether this was a war or take what they want and leave. There is a charecter in this game called the masked Assassin, probably an Ape, who rides a Dread wing and he is most likely the right hand of Gaul, the Ape King.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon
In Dawn of the Dragon, the cheetah hermit in the Valley of Avalar says that the ghouls that attacked Spyro and Cynder are the apes. According to him, they only served Malefor because they were greedy and wanted his power, and they showed no loyalty. For those resons, Malefor turned them into ghouls. They appear as skeletons.
