In Creature Commandos Season 2, the team is dispatched to investigate a series of high-tech raids across Africa and Europe—each bearing the unmistakable signature of someone with both immense intellect and raw power. Their investigation leads them to Gorilla Grodd, a hyper-evolved gorilla born from a secret Cold War-era experiment combining alien DNA and telepathic augmentation. Once a lab subject imprisoned and abused by human scientists, Grodd broke free and vanished into the jungle, where he built his own hidden civilization—Gorillapolis—a utopia for enhanced apes. Now, Grodd seeks to bring about a new evolutionary era by launching a psychic offensive to dismantle human society and replace it with one ruled by higher beings. As Grodd manipulates the Creature Commandos with visions of their place in his new world, the team is forced to confront whether they’re humanity’s protectors—or its successors.
