Biology
Annihilape is a simian Pokémon with a round body that is situated on two thick, black legs. It is covered in shaggy grey fur that streams upward and seems to evaporate. Unlike Primeape and Mankey, Annihilape's skin is a dark grey. The metal shackle on its left arm is broken while it appears to have no shackle at all on the right arm. Annihilape has three fingered hands and two-toed feet. There are multiple throbbing veins on the left side of its face. Its eyes are red as if the creature were in an extreme rage.
Annihilape evolved from Primeape when the rage in its soul became too much for its physical form to contain; it gained increased power as a result of its spirit no longer being limited by the flesh. The rage that was bubbling inside fills its punches with force that frightens its targets to their core. In Generation IX, Cross Chop is one of its signature moves.
Annihilape and its pre-evolved form, Primeape, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Rage Fist.

Trivia
Origin
Similar to its pre-evolutions, Annihilape seems to take inspiration from primates, particularly snub-nosed monkeys, Japanese macaques, and baboons due to its pig-like nose, proportions, and propensity for rage. Its general concept and added Ghost-type may have been inspired by Primeape's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sun, which states that Primeape can become so angry that it dies as a result. Additionally, it seems to be inspired by onryō, 'vengeful spirits' from Japanese folklore. It may take additional inspiration from the Basajaun, a hairy apelike being from Basque folklore.
Name origin
Annihilape may be a combination of annihilate and ape.
Konoyozaru may be a combination of この世を去る kono yo o saru (to leave this world; to die) and 猿 saru (monkey).
