Also in that episode, the heroes discover a lab which aims to create super-intelligent apes. The apes, specifically gorillas, are in fact a single silverback gorilla puppet, supplied by Jim Henson's Creature Shop and originally built for George of the Jungle. The principal gorilla is named Spanky. All of the gorillas were puppeteered facially by Michael Oosterom, with Tom Fisher as the suit performer (demonstrating his tai-chi skills during the end credits).
