In addition to Amy, Stan Winston Studio created twelve genetically mutated gray gorillas for Congo, eight of which were built as fully articulated hero heads and suits. To initiate the design of the twelve grays, Chris Swift rendered a series of drawings. Stan Winston then gave key artists at the studio the opportunity to design and sculpt one unique character each. Because the grays were a fictional, mutant breed of gorillas, the sculptors enjoyed a lot of creative freedom in devising their designs. "Stan really let us use our imaginations in coming up with something unique and specific for each of our characters," recalled Joey Orosco. "Greg Figiel, for example, sculpted an amazing gray gorilla that was a combination of a man's face, a chimp's face, and a gorilla's face. I based mine on the features of a gorilla and a chimp, and then came up with an interesting paint job to make it look as if my gorilla had vitiligo, that pigment disease that discolors the skin."
